Growth Mindset is a concept parents will hear often at the STEAM Academy at Stribling.  We encourage students to try new things and to challenge themselves academically.  For some GT students, perfectionism or anxiety can get in the way of their thinking.  We teach our students to not fear failure but rather use mistakes to learn.  Parents can encourage a growth mindset at home by focusing on how children think, not just the final answer on an assignment.  Praising effort is much more effective than simply telling students they are smart. Perseverance and patience are the keys to reaching our full potential!
