A Growth mindset

What is a GROWTH MINDSET? 
Did you know that you can grow your brain? Your brain is like a muscle. It changes and gets stronger when you use it. The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain grows. Believing you can do hard things is called a growth mindset. A person with a fixed mindset doesn't believe they can get better at anything. How are you going to grow your brain today?

ENCOURAGE FAILURE (SAY WHAT?!)
Your child needs to know that failure can (and often does) happen and it is okay! Remind them that each time they fail and try again, their brain is growing stronger! Don't step in to prevent your child's failure--this is how they learn to persevere in the face of challenges.
