Growth Mindset: Your Kids Need This (So Do You!)

By Thismomloves @ThisMomLoves
In my latest CHEX Daily segment, I chat with hosts Teresa Kaszuba and Mike Judson about fostering a growth mindset in your children - it's so important! We talk about:
  • What do "growth mindset" - and its opposite, "fixed mindset" - mean anyway?
  • What are some specific ways parents can help? (Hint: saying "You take after me, I can't do Math" is not helpful.)
  • How does growth mindset apply in areas other than academics (for kids and adults)?

I'm at the 31:18 mark if it doesn't cue for you where I've set it, and if you can't see the embedded video you can find it here: http://youtu.be/V0Lx5DNn-tQ?t=31m18s

P.S. Thanks to Chabot Elementary in Oakland, California for putting some great resources on their website for random Canadian teachers to Google and find, including a Powerpoint presentation for parents, parent tip sheet and student handout. You can find it all here:
