Fostering Children's Growth Mindset in the Early Years

Carol Dweck's groundbreaking work has long established that, when faced with a challenge, each of us can respond with either a fixed mindset or a growth mindset about our ability to deal with it. What is becoming increasingly clear is that, when children develop growth mindsets in their early years, they come to see struggle and challenge as opportunities for learning and development.Fostering Children's Growth Mindset in the Early Years offers an insightful guide on how educators can foster growth mindsets in children from birth up to eight years of age. It centres on a set of nine design principles for positive change, along with practical strategies for integrating each one into your setting. This accessible approach, based in both research and practice, will support you to create a culture that inspires children to understand their mindsets, develop a love of learning and enhance both their achievement and their wellbeing.
