In our Project Mindset program, the first month is all about the pillar: Master Your Mouth. I was teaching these young boys the importance of not only the words they speak to each other, but the words people say to them reminding them that words are like arrows. We did an exercise about these labels where I gave them each a name tag and told them to write down the words people use to label them. I told them if the label was negative, they had to counter it with their own positive word. The results were powerful: People wonder why the boys in school are angry or misbehaving i'm just saying.
