Why Foster Growth Mindset in Children

A growth mindset is a foundational mindset that shapes how children perceive themselves, their abilities, and their potential. It plays a crucial role in their academic, personal, and future professional success. 

Children with a growth mindset are more likely to view challenges or setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth rather than threats. This mindset helps them approach complex tasks enthusiastically and resiliently, as they understand that effort and perseverance can lead to improvement.
