5 Parenting Strategies to Develop a Growth Mindset<\/h2>\n

I have a daughter who dislikes\u00a0challenges. She\u2019d rather give up than\u00a0persevere. This is probably hugely affected by her sensory processing disorder and ADHD. How, I don\u2019t really know. But I do know that she does not have<\/strong> what professor\u00a0Angela Duckworth calls grit<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and author Carol Dweck calls<\/a> it a growth mindset<\/strong>. Or at least it\u2019s hidden somewhere.<\/p>\n

\n

And I\u2019m worried.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s living with\u00a0a fixed mindset. <\/strong>This is when you believe\u00a0that people are either born smart or not; that talents, intelligence, and personality can\u2019t be changed. But we know from decades of research that this is simply not true. Our brains are amazingly malleable<\/a>,\u00a0even as adults.<\/p>\n

Now don\u2019t get me wrong, I don\u2019t need\u00a0my daughter to get straight As or\u00a0a perfect score on the\u00a0ACT test. That\u2019s not it at all. What I care about is my daughter\u2019s life. Having a growth mindset is essential for a successful life. In all areas. (Although kids with a\u00a0growth mindset<\/a> do better in school than their peers without. Just saying. . .)<\/p>\n
