[quote=Anonymous]I personally believe in the value of teaching your kids to have a growth mindset and foster a love for learning and curiosity. You can do this by listening to fun and interesting podcasts like “Wow in the World” and “Radiolab for Kids” by NPR, reading together (even apart but having them see you read - my mom read Harry Potter and Narnia to use aloud even though I was 8-14 and was top of my class and it’s such a fond memory for us kids), attending festivals, museums, cultural events and travel. You don’t necessarily have to read to them or quiz them about schoolwork. I think it would still be very beneficial to ask about their day like “what subject or activity did you improve in the most this month?”, “What is one act of kindness you witnessed or did this week?” and discuss one high and one low point from the day. But I highly recommend reading up on how to teach a growth mindset over fixed - it will help your kid grow into a more resilient adult. [/quote]
