The way adults—both parents and educators—talk about their own abilities and challenges sends powerful messages to the youth they influence. This session explores how fixed and growth mindsets impact self-esteem and motivation in children and students. By understanding the connection between adult self-talk, feedback language, and student behavior, educators can better guide parents and foster a supportive environment for learning and personal growth.
This class, originally created for parents, offers valuable insights for educators as well. It provides tools to support conversations with families about mindset and self-esteem, helping to create a community-wide approach to empowering students.
