I'm a firm believer in raising the bar for kids. I have found that when you expect great things from them, they usually do great things. I might have talked about growth mindset versus fixed mindset. All children should know that they can learn but they have to work for it. For instance when they say, "I don't get it" you correct them to add the word "yet"- "I don't get it yet". We all should develop growth mindset with ourselves. We don't need to label ourselves as "bad at math", "a bad cook", "not creative". We can all learn the things we want to learn and improve on what we want to improve on. This weekend do something you were always hesitant to try.....but stay legal- I don't want your growth mindset to end up in a closed cell!
