Ask your child these three simple questions to assess their growth mindset.
Growth Mindset Assessment
- I can greatly change how good I am at almost anything by practicing
- I prefer hard challenges over easy ones
- I believe I can improve my intelligence through hard work
Have your child give themselves a score between 0 and 3 for each question, on the following scale:
0 – Very seldom or not true of me
1 – Seldom true of me
2 – Often true of me
3 – Almost always true of me
What’s next? If your child is using their growth mindset, keep nurturing it with all the tips we have shared this month.
If your child is struggling with this one, don’t give up! It can take time for children to replace old coping strategies with new ones.
