As Angela Lee Duckworth explains during this TED Talk, kids (and adults) with a Growth Mindset “don’t believe that failure is a permanent condition,” because “the ability to learn is not fixed.”
We heard some eye-opening and very useful information on both topics. And many parents asked for a list of resources, to explore the concepts further.
Below are some of the Growth Mindset resources covered during the presentation. (Books recommendations are listed in a separate post.)
