KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Topic
3 simple strategies to build a growth mindset at home.
Synopsis
Parents play a huge role in influencing children's' mindset at home. It's important to realise that both adults and children have fixed, and growth mindsets and their ratio depend on how each has been raised based on their cultural settings and educational environment etc. A Fixed Mindset gives energy to feelings of powerlessness and learned helplessness. In contrast, a Growth Mindset builds feelings of empowerment and drives motivation and achievement.
This keynote session aims to equip parents with three simple strategies to understand what the Growth Mindset is, why it’s important, and how they can start applying the knowledge, skills and attitude at home effectively
At the end of the highly interactive keynote session, participants will be able to:
• Identify Fixed Mindset statements and Growth Mindset statements.
• Reframe Fixed Mindset statements to Growth Mindset statements.
• Practice process praise to promote effort & challenge children’s’ Fixed Mindset.
• Apply nonverbal communication strategies to promote positive responses
