Why We Instill Growth Mindset?
In today's time, mindset plays a vital role to play in children’s success. Without a positive mental attitude, children inevitably hinder the possibility of reaching their full potential. It is therefore important that children learn to cope with failure at a young age and realise that it does not define their ability.
Children who have a
fixed mindset, will have a negative internal dialogue:
✗ I’m either good at it, or I’m not
✗ I can’t do this!
✗ When I fail, I’m no good
✗ If you succeed, I feel threatened
✗ When I’m frustrated, I give up
✗ I don’t like to be challenged
✗ I compare myself to others’ and their success gets me down
Children who have a
growth mindset, will have a positive internal dialogue:
✓ can learn anything I want to
✓ am not afraid to ask for help!
✓ can’t do it yet!
✓ I fail, I learn
✓ I am comfortable making mistakes
✓ When I’m frustrated, I persevere
✓ I want to challenge myself
✓ I find inspiration in other people’s success
