Growth Mindset Challenge

I just read an article that goes into Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset project. The article discussed on how to teach children into becoming better at topics that may not be good at now. The key in every teaching aspect is saying that brains are malleable and able to learn any topic. For example, they go into detail about saying that kids that are not good at math need to be taught that they simply are not good at math YET. This allows for self-confidence to be built up in the children. Furthermore, the need to teach children that effort is best must come at early ages. Children as young as 1-3 years old have developed better skills due to this growth mindset. This is a great way to change how we all learn.

Thanks for reading!
