Let's be honest. Success is M E S S Y. In education, sports, and LIFE...there are often way more losses than wins. Teaching a growth mindset can help your child to succeed every step of the way - even when they fail! By changing our words, our thoughts, and our conversations we can help students:
- focus on effort and hard work
- speak differently to themselves and others
- tackle difficult concepts head-on
- gain intrinsic motivation for accomplishing things on their own
- keep going, even when things get tough
Growth Mindset Parenting - Mindset Works
- "Research shows that parents can have a powerful impact on their childrens' mindsets. The language you use and the actions you take show your children about what you expect. Giving process praise, talking about the brain, accepting mistakes as learning opportunities, and understanding the role of emotions in learning are all practices you can begin today."
Learn how to help your child change the conversation in their brain. Instead of "I can't" and "this is too hard" your child can believe "I can" and "this might be difficult, but I'm willing to work hard"! With a different mindset, a child can do more than they ever imagined!

"Our mindsets exist on a continuum from fixed to growth, and although we’d like to always have a growth mindset, the reality is that we can only be on a journey to a growth mindset. The goal is to recognize fixed mindset elements in ourselves and then reflect on feedback and strategies for how to improve." -Mindset Works
So...where do YOU fall on the continuum? Do you have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset?
