What is Growth Mindset and How Does it Encourage Kids?
Before you download your growth mindset quotes, here’s a brief overview of what the two types of mindset are – Fixed Mindset and Growth Mindset.
Growth mindset isn’t just a positive attitude.
When it comes to your kids, growth mindset is important because growth mindset is what be the difference maker between a child who feels confident to try new things, persevere when the going gets tough and pick themselves up after they’ve made a mistake – and one who gives up.
How our kids view themselves matters.
That’s because it affects their ability to learn, work hard, and persevere.
That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the most powerful 28 growth mindset quotes for kids – simple, yet extremely effective to building a growth mindset.
Our self-perception impacts our daily lives more than we realize.
If you view yourself poorly, does it affect your ability to communicate, work, focus, connect, learn and even parent?
The answer is likely yes, isn’t it?
The same holds true for children.
What children believe about themselves, and their abilities matters a lot.
- Do they think of themselves as smart, or not?
- Do they perceive themselves to be athletic, or not?
- Do they perceive themselves to be artistic or creative, or not?
- What about having natural skill or skills that make them hard workers, kind, or social?
If children don’t have a growth mindset, and instead a fixed mindset, then all the bad, harmful thoughts of themselves is the inner voice they’ll hear each day.
This is an excellent article that discusses the difference between fixed and growth mindset and offers 9 ways to encourage a growth mindset (which pair nicely with using these growth mindset quote posters for kids you can download below.)
Another Fun Way to Encourage a Growth Mindset
Years ago, my daughter would say things like, “I’m so dumb, I’m never going to get this math!” or “I can’t do it, it’s too hard for me!”
It would break my heart watching as she berated herself, but also the fixed mindset he had about this capacity to learn and understand what was being taught at school.
That’s when I created a hand-drawn coloring book just for her with inspiring coloring sheets she could color beautifully and hang up around our house.
You can find the exact 26-page coloring book I created here
