Teaching a Growth Mindset

“If we foster a growth mindset in our homes and schools, however, we will give our children the tools to succeed in their pursuit and to become responsible employees and citizens” (Carol S. Dweck, Scientific American Mind- November 28, 2007).

This passage summarizes the main theme of the article and explains the benefits that teaching a growth mindset can have for children and our society as a whole. If parents teach their children this growth mindset, not only will they become harder workers and better students, but they will ultimately gain the tools to succeed in school, business (as employers and employees), and relationships.

If our society sets out to teach this mindset, we can create a whole generation of productive, hard-working, and responsible employees and citizens.
