HOW TO DEVELOP GROWTH MINDSET IN KIDS

What is growth mindset?

It is natural for us to believe that we are capable and have potential. As a result, this aspect of mindset can fuel our behaviour and predict our success. Mindset shapes our everyday lives, helping us interpret our experience and future possibilities. It is based on the belief that you can develop your abilities and intelligence by working diligently, dedicating yourself, and learning from your errors. A growth mindset is very essential to a child’s development

Why is growth Mindset important?

Growth mindsets increase strength, determination, and confidence. It usually seems that kids who have a growth mindset are more likely to take on challenging tasks and keep going even when they are disappointed.

It helps in developing self-determination in kids

Failures and disappointments are opportunities for children with a growth mindset to learn and grow. It is possible that they believe their abilities do not remain static. As long as they work diligently and dedicate themselves, they will always improve. Even after falling, they keep moving forward.

Teach your child it’s okay to be wrong

When your child is afraid of failing, it can be difficult to try something that’s unfamiliar for them. As parents, we should always encourage our children to take on new challenges. They will find out what works and what does not work through the process of making that effort.

Teach them to try out new ideas and approaches to problem solving.

There are different strategies and methods to complete various tasks and problems in life. If your child is struggling with a problem, always ask them if they have another way that might solve their problem. We as parents are always there for them to solve a problem for them, but they should learn how to handle the problem by themselves.

Appreciate them for their efforts.

Always appreciate them. Whenever you observe someone making an effort to accomplish something, you should always acknowledge their efforts. Applauding children’s efforts and teaching them to accept responsibility for their mistakes helps them to accept failures as an integral part of the learning process. They become more willing to take risks.

Don’t give up easily

It is imperative not giving up without putting in a concerted effort if you have a growth mindset. Your child should still have an attitude of “never giving up.”. It is paramount for them to learn that everything comes at a price and they must work hard if they want to live a fulfilling life. They should try, try, and try until they make it all the way to success.

Always encourage your child to think Big

Encourage your child to think big and set high standards. Keep telling them not to settle for the simple and easy things in life. Ensure that your child keeps their belt tight and is prepared for the challenges that come along the way. Make them ready to ride a roller coaster. Encourage your child to think big and achieve something in life.
