There were 26 parents and 2 Governing Board members at this
morning’s FFO meeting. After my presentation on fostering a growth mindset,
attendees were asked to respond to a real-time poll:
One thing I can say to
foster a growth mindset in my child is __________________.
Here is what they had to say!
- “Try a new
strategy”
- “Don't be
afraid to try”
- “You can do
this”
- “Keep trying!”
- “You can do it!
Let's try it this way!”
- “All successes
require passionate effort.”
- “Practice makes
progress!”
- “Keep working
hard and you get it!”
- “Perseverance”
- “Try, you will
never know if you can or not until you try, so: try”
- "Learn
from my own setbacks."”
- “Your effort on
that project is admirable.”
- “I know you can
do this”
- “Just keep
swimming”
- “Failure is
part of life, learn from it and try again.”
- “You can solve
this very complicated problem. Try a new strategy. Maybe breaking it
- down into
small problems and work your way through it.”
- “Respect the
process”
- “Practice makes
progress”
- “If you haven't
tried something that scares you..... You haven't challenged yourself!”
