Encourage a growth mindset towards challenges from "summary" of 10 Days to a Less Distracted Child by Jeffrey Bernstein
It's important to help your child see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. Instead of avoiding difficult tasks or giving up easily, encourage them to approach challenges with a positive attitude and a belief in their ability to overcome obstacles. This is what we call a growth mindset. When children have a growth mindset, they are more likely to persevere in the face of challenges and setbacks. They see effort as a path to mastery, rather than something to be avoided. By praising your child's efforts and strategies, rather than just their innate abilities, you can help them develop a growth mindset. One way to foster a growth mindset is to teach your child about neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to change and grow in response to experiences. By learning about how the brain can adapt and improve over time, your child can see that their abilities are not fixed, but can be developed with effort and practice. Encouraging a growth mindset also means modeling resilience and perseverance in your own behavior. When your child sees you facing challenges with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn from mistakes, they are more likely to adopt the same mindset.- Helping your child develop a growth mindset towards challenges can set them up for success in school and in life. By teaching them to embrace difficulties as opportunities for growth, you can empower them to face obstacles with confidence and determination.
