Fix Your Dragon’s Attitude: SEL Interactive Read-Aloud Book Companion

Negative attitudes can quietly derail learning. When students believe “nothing will work” or feel stuck in pessimistic thinking, it often shows up as resistance, frustration, or disengagement—making it difficult to move forward academically or socially.
