Parenting Talk - all invited

March 26th at Hornby High School

Values assembly this week: Nurturing a Growth Mindset:

Developing a positive mindset means embracing the idea of can't do it yet - the belief that with effort and practice, growth and success are possible.

This week we have been talking about a new superpower; resilience and sparkling with positivity. A positive mindset involves having an optimistic attitude towards challenges and setbacks. It is about believing in your abilities and potential for growth. When faced with a task that seems difficult, instead of saying I can't do it, try saying I can't do it yet. This simple addition of yet changes your perspective from seeing a task as impossible to understanding that it will take time and effort to accomplish.

The phrase can't do it yet emphasizes the idea of progress and learning. It acknowledges that success is not immediate, but achievable with persistence and practice. By adopting this mindset, you open yourself to a world of possibilities and opportunities for improvement. It shifts your focus from limitations to possibilities, empowering you to take on challenges with confidence and resilience.

Remember, everyone encounters obstacles and setbacks. What sets individuals apart is their response to these challenges. By embracing a positive mindset and the can't do it yet attitude, you equip yourself with the tools to overcome difficulties and grow from them. Embrace the journey of learning and development with optimism and determination, and you will discover your true potential.
