Model and Teach Growth Mindset 

-Mistakes are good-we learn from them and our brain gets stronger

-the “Power of YET”

-It’s not “I don’t know, it’s I’ll give it a try”

-Change the way you speak to them about what school may have been like for you.  Don’t say, “I wasn’t good at reading either.”  Say “Reading was hard for me too, but I worked hard and got better.”  

-Praise the process
