GROWTH MINDSET IN MATHIn general, a growth mindset is the belief that intelligence and ‘smartness’ can also be learned and thatthe brain grows from experience and effort. The opposite, a fixed mindset, is the idea that you aresmart, or you are not. In math, that translates into “some people are good at math, and some are not.”Did you know that praising efforts rather than intelligence or results can impact your child’s ability topersevere in challenges?! The goal is to have children thrive on challenges and see failures, not as asign of low intelligence, but as a learning opportunity. Brain research tells us that making mistakes actually wires more connections into the brain! When a person has a growth mindset, they accept challenges, see their efforts as worthwhile, and are open to learning from mistakes. Students with a growthmindset achieve at higher levels than those with fixed mindsets. How can you help? Some simple ways: Adding “yet” when they claim they are “not good at this”(Respond: “You are not good at this yet.”) Ask questions that focus on their effort and choices and get them to reflect on satisfaction of thateffort (e.g.What did you learn today? What mistake did you make that taught you something? Whatdid you try hard at today?)Model this yourself as you share about your dayMINDFUL PARENTING, MINDFUL KIDSMindfulness involves being fully present and accepting of our moment-to-moment experiences, withoutbecoming lost in thought about the past or future. Life as a parent is busy and as a result it’s easy tooperate on auto pilot. Being a mindful parent means taking the time to enjoy the everyday moments withyour children. As parents, mindfulness is especially important because it allows you to role model mindfulness practice, allowing your entire family to reap the benefits.Some examples of daily mindfulness activities you can do with your children include: Going for a walk and giving everyone the task of finding 5 things that they hear, see or feel/touchduring the walk and reporting back to the family upon return Spending time unplugged and together as a family. Take turns sharing stories about your day andlisten to each with kind attention.Practicing daily mindfulness activities prepares you to respond thoughtfully to situations rather than reactto them. For example, if your child is showing signs of anger, rather than reacting with discipline, take thetime to think about why they are upset. Connecting in this way, with compassion can help defuse thesituation.Dan Siegel, best-selling author of several parenting books, co-director of the UCLA Mindful AwarenessResearch Center and executive director of the Mindsight Institute, offers a wonderful description of whatit means to be a mindful parent in this short video clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v FXxrJEnIboMBeing a more attentive, mindful parent can help you feel more confident and content within your family!
