South Charlotte Shockwave
February 17-21
During middle school, some students seem to lose motivation in school. One way that we combat that is by helping them to develop a “growth mindset”. This is a belief that their abilities, intelligences and talents can be developed and improved. Students who believe this tend to challenge themselves more, they believe they can do hard things, and they become more resilient. Parents can encourage a “growth mindset” in their students by doing things such as praising effort, not outcome.
