Regina, what an incredible story and really hits on the importance of positive construction and focusing on changing a student's self talk. Dr. Joe Pace from The Pacific Institution teaches his students in his faculty development courses that it takes 11 positives to make for for a single negative. This goes to show the power of Negative Talk and Negative Self-Talk and why it is critical that we as instructors find positive ways to provide feedback to our students. They have enough negatives in their lives and we just need to focus on all things positive and as much as possible. Thanks for sharing. James Jackson
