Having a Growth Mindset is a powerful tool to support our children, that is for sure! For a young student receiving a letter grade of a C, stops all learning for that student. Getting a grade stating “Not Yet” makes all the difference in the world. Suddenly, they realize that their learning is a continuum and the learning continues every time! At Seedlings, we use Growth Mindset language every day, all day long in our multi-age licensed facility. We are constantly amazed at the power of our very young reaching such success when they understand they can do it, just not yet!
Think about your parenting style… Is it influenced by Growth Mindset, I hope it is, because it makes all the difference for our littles in every way!
