The Rosary Catholic Primary School
Aspire, Believe, Achieve: Together in Christ
How can you help your child to have a
Growth Mindset?
Talk about the people who inspire your child.
It is important to celebrate inspirational figures and what they have achieved. We have an Aspiration Board in school which highlights key people each term, people who have achieved their dreams through resilience, hard work and thinking big! These people have overcome their set-backs to achieve all that they dreamed they could. They inspire others.
Which qualities do they have which means that they have achieved their dreams? Talk about resilience and overcoming set-backs. Set-backs are a part of life but it is how we handle them that is important.
Encourage your child to think big!
Encourage your child to think big and to have goals. Goals can be immediate e.g. learning times tables, but they should also be long term. Where does your child see themselves in 20 years time? How are they going to get there? What steps can they take on that road to success?
Encourage your child to challenge themselves
Encourage your child to attempt the most challenging tasks in their homework. After all, what’s the worst that could happen? They may make a mistake but they will learn from it.Encourage them to go ‘that little bit further’ in the amount that they write for a project, an essay, a research task....
Encourage your child to be resilient
Every time we come across a new challenge, our brains create new connections to make learning possible. It is a bit like exercising a muscle! Encourage your child not to give up at the first hurdle! Keep going – success is just around the corner!
