In this mini episode we provide you with an introduction to the topic of growth mindset. "Growth mindset is the belief that people’s most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. Growth mindset creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment." (Dweck, 2007). Research suggests that a growth mindset leads to increased happiness, confidence, and achievement, among other positive traits. We share two quick tips for encouraging a growth mindset in your child: 

1. Model growth mindset statements

2. Praise your child's efforts instead of inherent characteristics
