it’s that time of year again - we’re shopping for school supplies, teachers are returning to their classrooms, and students (as well as their parents) are eagerly awaiting the news as to who their teachers will be. as a parent of two school-aged boys, it’s also the time of year our family starts making predictions about the year ahead. “i think miles will do so much better in reading this year.” “taylor is probably going to get in trouble a lot, but maybe he’ll also test into the gifted program.” it’s an innocent practice in anticipating the successes and struggles we’ll experience in the year ahead, but without knowing it, we’re also shaping how we will perceive these experiences as the year unfolds.
