Title I Reading: Developing a Growth Mindset
A growth mindset is something that can be learned and developed. You can help your child develop persistence by doing the following:
- Praise the effort not the intelligence.
- Teach your child that it is okay to take a break from something that is hard or frustrating. Just be sure to come back and finish the task.
- Be model of persistence. Everyone feels like giving up sometimes. Model how to overcome adversity to still reach a goal.
- Teach positive self talk. Teach your child to say, “I know I can do this if I just keep trying.”
- Discuss the anatomy of the brain and how it is a muscle that can be strengthened. The more the brain is challenged, the stronger it gets.
- Keep repeating these steps over and over and over. Your persistence will pay off!!!
