Look What You've Done! Stories of Hope and Resilience for Teachers and for Parents, PBS Video

Look what you've done!" Whether they've failed a spelling test or dropped an easy pop fly, kids with learning disabilities hear those words far too often. It's no wonder they often give up hope. And it's no wonder we sometimes overlook what Dr. Brooks calls the "everyday courage" of our children. Dr. Brooks says we need to find each child's "islands of competence" and then build on those strengths. He offers practical strategies for helping children develop the confidence and resilience they will need to succeed.The video for teachers contains a description of the theory on which the strategies are based, as well as 6 minutes of video not in the parent's version. The Parent video contains an examination of one's own childhood memories and how those memories can help guide what we do with our children today, as well as 7 minutes of video not available in the teacher's edition. Each video purchase includes a 31-page, program-specific guide containing:

• a philosophy section that outlines some basic concepts which can be valuable as you develop your own plans for self-esteem building with your children and/or students;
• techniques and strategies that can be used to help build self-esteem in students and children with learning disabilities; and
• a comprehensive listing of other resources available to help you develop further skills in understanding and building children's self-esteem.
