Positioning Kids & Teens to Thrive: 11 Practical, Powerful Ways to Build a Growth Mindset

Intelligence is not fixed and can be flourished with time and effort. Nurturing this belief in children is one of the greatest things we, as the adults in their lives, can do to help lift them so they can reach their full potential. The effort will come from them, but it’s important that we do what we can to have them believe that the effort will be worth it. 🙂

Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset: Help Kids Make the Switch

Many children (and adults) actually hold a fixed mindset about learning. Helping them to switch from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset is one of the most important things we can do, as through this switch they can learn to view challenges as opportunities, to develop an “I can” attitude, and to discover a value in, and love of, learning – even when it’s hard!

Growth mindset is not about focusing on the things your kids do right when it comes to education – it’s about looking at all learning through a lens of positive, goal-focused outcomes. Focusing on what the child can do, or will be able to achieve by asking for help or looking at different strategies, will help them stay focused and develop a healthy growth mindset for learning. 🙂

“Developing the right mindset early on is crucial for a successful, happy life. When kids learn that putting forth effort and using the right strategies can help them get better at things, they feel empowered, and try harder. When they know their brains are capable of growing, they are more confident, resilient, and are not afraid to fail!”

So how do we teach this simple and incredible concept of growth mindset to children? To start, it's important to understand the basics. 🙂

“If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning. That way, their children don’t have to be slaves of praise. They will have a lifelong way to build and repair their own confidence.”

According to Dr Carol Dweck, people can fall into one of two categories; a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. “In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.”

In education, it’s important to encourage children to develop a growth mindset instead of a fixed mindset. Having a growth mindset gives kids the tools, attributes and skills to become happy and successful in life. It allows them to always keep improving and inspires the belief that no obstacle is too big to eventually be overcome. 🙂

“Either we spend time meeting children’s emotional needs by filling their cup with love or we spend time dealing with the behaviors caused from their unmet needs. Either way we spend the time.” -Pam Leo

When spending time with a child, what do we focus on? When teaching a child, his or her emotional state matters. How do we fill the child’s emotional cup? 🙂

As you teach children, challenging behaviors will surely surface. What do you do when that happens? 🙂

“It’s important to note that there is always a reason for challenging behaviors. Sometimes, as adults, we don’t see or understand the reasons. This can feel frustrating, of course. Regardless, it’s important to take a step back and have empathy. It would almost always be easier for a child or teen to follow the rules and meet expectations. Challenging behaviors are ways that kids communicate their feelings and needs.”

“Having empathy and understanding for what a child or teen is going through can be the first step in making progress in the right direction.”

Here are some steps and strategies for managing challenging behaviors. Highly appreciate it if you would also share your strategies! 🙂

https://www.thepathway2success.com/managing-challenging-behaviors/

All behavior has a function or intent, a purpose.
Behavior is a signal and an attempt to communicate.

Rather than reacting to the behavior of the child, think of how to respond to an unspoken need. Rather than thinking of how to manage the child to act or behave in a certain way, think of “Why is the child behaving or responding in this manner? What is he or she trying to communicate?”

There is something going on in the mind and heart of the child that needs to get properly addressed. Rather than focusing on the misbehavior, focus on what you are missing behind the behavior. What is the child’s underlying need that he or she cannot communicate directly?

Proper addressing involves helping the child to communicate openly (avoid judgment), honestly (avoid instilling fear or guilt) and properly (provide guidelines on the proper way to respond). Avoid reacting to the child in anger, embrassing the child or making the child feel guilty. If the behavior only gets punished but doesn’t get addressed properly, it will be reinforced one way or another.

Why focus on the external when the behavior and actions merely reflects what is beneath the surface? ❤️

P.S. This ABA guideline is not only applicable for children with special needs but for all individuals in general.

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” -Aristotle

Educating the heart refers to the importance of not only focusing on developing the cognitive aspects (our minds) but also all the qualities that make us human (our hearts) and ultimately give us meaning in our lives. In the short video, Dr. Kimberly Schonert-Reichl explains why we need to prepare our children for this world by educating their hearts, and how we can do so. Check the link below. 🙂
