How can children establish their own growth mindsetLEARN, LEARN, LEARN –it is more important to learn than to get good grades, focus on learning and improving.
REALISE HARD WORK IS THE KEY – putting a lot of effort into learning and working hard is key, seek challenges, focus on strategies, effort, struggle and persistence despite setbacks.
SET FEEDBACK– capitalise on mistakes, confront deficiencies, reflect on different strategies that work and do not work, focus on learning and improving.
MIXED MESSAGES
Messages About Success
• “You learned that so quickly! You’re so smart!”“Look at that drawing. Martha, is he the next Picasso or what?”“You’re so brilliant, you got an A without even studying!”
If you’re like most parents, you hear these as supportive, esteem-boosting messages.
Another message……………the ones that children hear:
• “If I don’t learn something quickly, I’m not smart.”“I shouldn’t try drawing anything hard or they’ll see I’m no Picasso.”“I’d better quit studying or they won’t think I’m brilliant.”
