Tune in Wed., Dec. 16 for "Creating a Mindset for Success in Your Child” with Carol Dweck, Stanford researcher and author of “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success” on “Real Parents. Real Solutions." with host Toni Schutta. The proper mindset has been shown to be one of the most important factors for your child to achieve success. There is a link at the end of this post if you want to hear the show at another time.
You’ll learn real-life tips on how to praise your child, how to criticize your child constructively, and how to create a passion for learning that will help nurture a growth mindset. Carol’s groundbreaking work levels the playing field by showing you how to communicate differently to your children to create a growth mindset that can be nurtured to achieve success in all aspects of life.
Kristin Boileau, school counselor at Osceola Elementary will also join the show and share ways to teach your child about positive self-talk and other tips for academic success. Kristin recommends these resources:
Two resources that help children overcome negativity and confidence building are:
"What to Do When You Grumble Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Negativity" by Dawn Huebner, Ph.D.
"I Can Handle It: 50 Confidence-building stories to empower your child" by Susan Jeffers, Ph.D.
A great resource for teaching social-emotional skills in young children is:
"The Second Step Curriculum" by Committee for Children - this has a family curriculum and parent guide. It's a violence prevention program that is research and evidence based. It teaches empathy, conflict resolution, and anger management.
