Foster a growth mindset in your child from "summary" of Duct Tape Parenting by Vicki Hoefle
To help your child develop a growth mindset, start by focusing on their efforts rather than their achievements. This means praising them for their hard work and determination, rather than just their successes. By doing this, you are teaching them that putting in effort is what leads to progress and improvement.
Encourage your child to embrace challenges and see them as opportunities to learn and grow. Instead of shying away from difficult tasks, teach them to approach them with a positive attitude and a willingness to try new things. This will help them develop resilience and the confidence to tackle any obstacles that come their way.
Teach your child the power of "yet" - the idea that they may not have mastered something yet, but with time and effort, they will get there. By instilling in them the belief that their abilities can improve with practice and perseverance, you are fostering a growth mindset that will serve them well in all areas of their life.
Model a growth mindset yourself by showing your child that you are always learning and growing. Share your own challenges and failures with them, and demonstrate how you approach setbacks with a positive and determined attitude. By being a role model for a growth mindset, you are showing your child the value of perseverance and the belief that they can always improve and succeed.
By fostering a growth mindset in your child, you are setting them up for success in school, relationships, and their future career. With the right attitude and mindset, they will be able to overcome any obstacles that come their way and reach their full potential. So start today by focusing on their efforts, encouraging them to embrace challenges, teaching them the power of "yet," and modeling a growth mindset yourself. Your child will thank you for it in the long run.
