Locke Hill Elementary - January Edition
GROWTH MINDSET
A growth mindset will supercharge their capacity to learn and grow. We know that for certain. Parents, teachers and any important adult in the life of a child or adolescent has enormous power to steer them towards the happy headspace of a growth mindset. Here’s some suggestions on how:
- Tell them, over and over and over that ‘Brains can get stronger.’
- Pay attention to their effort over results.
Catch them being persistent.
Be specific with praise.
Encourage a healthy attitude to failure and challenge.
Use the word ‘yet’, and use it often.
Show them that they don’t always have to be successful to be okay.
Encourage them to keep the big picture in mind.
Give them permission to fail.
