How can parents help support students with a growth mindset? According to the Child Mind Institute, "parents tend to see their mission as helping their kids succeed. But there’s a growing realization among teachers and other professionals who work with children that kids increasingly need help learning how to fail. When it comes to school, 'the ability to tolerate imperfection—that something is not going exactly your way—is oftentimes more important to learn than whatever the content subject is,' says Dr. Amanda Mintzer, a clinical psychologist at the Child Mind Institute. 'Building that skill set is necessary for kids to be able to become more independent and succeed in future endeavors, whether it’s personal goals, academic goals, or just learning how to effectively deal with other people.'”
