Encourage a growth mindset in your children from "summary" of How to Raise Successful People by Esther Wojcicki

One of the most important things you can do as a parent is to instill a growth mindset in your children. This means teaching them that their abilities and intelligence are not fixed traits, but can be developed through hard work, learning, and perseverance. When children have a growth mindset, they are more likely to take on challenges, embrace failure as a learning opportunity, and persist in the face of obstacles. To encourage a growth mindset in your children, praise their efforts and strategies rather than their innate talents. Instead of telling them how smart or talented they are, focus on recognizing the hard work and determination they put into their tasks. This helps them understand that success is not just about being naturally gifted, but about putting in the effort to improve and grow. It's also important to teach your children that failure is a normal part of the learning process. Instead of shielding them from failures or mistakes, encourage them to see setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning. By reframing failure in this way, you can help your children develop resilience and a willingness to take risks. Another key aspect of fostering a growth mindset in your children is setting high expectations for them. When you believe in their ability to succeed and challenge them to push themselves beyond their comfort zone, you are showing them that you have confidence in their potential for growth and development. This can help them develop a sense of self-efficacy and a belief in their own ability to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
  1. You are equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-changing and unpredictable world. They will learn to embrace challenges, persist in the face of setbacks, and see failure as a stepping stone to success. Ultimately, by instilling a growth mindset in your children, you are empowering them to become resilient, self-motivated individuals who are capable of achieving their dreams.
