Today is the first day back to school after winter break for many children. Students, parents, and teachers are all getting themselves “back in the groove”. Growth mindsets may need to be refreshed.
We all need reminders to embrace a challenge. Reminders of how making mistakes helps us learn. Reminders of how working hard leads to greater fulfillment.
Trying to use a growth mindset helps me make it through obstacles on a daily basis. I often need reminders.
I find Dr. Carol Dweck’s book, “Mindset: The New Psychology for Success” and Mary Cay Ricci and Margaret Lee’s book, “Mindsets for Parents- Strategies to Encourage Growth Mindsets in Kids” to be extremely helpful. I hope you do too!
