Developing a Growth Mindset - A Step by Step Guide
(Biglifejournal.com. “How to Teach Growth Mindset to Kids (the 4-Week Guide).” Big Life Journal, https://biglifejournal.com/blogs/blog/teach-growth-mindset-kids-activities.)
This article will give you a step by step guide to helping your child develop a growth mindset. Rather than say "I can't do it", let's start helping our children say "I can't do it YET".
Be sure to check out "Everyday Discussions Can Dramatically Improve Your Child's Thinking Abilities" Feb. 2022 and "KG1-Grade 5: The Importance of Productive Struggle, Allowing Children to Struggle to Grow" Feb 2022.
These videos are from Teachers College of Columbia University where the Reading and Writing Project began and where the methodology of how we teach reading and writing started.
