About the Growth Mindset
A growth mindset is one that is supported by a strong self belief that provides the emotional security to seek growth and new experiences in life.
Factors that can positively reinforce a growth mindset are a sense of belonging, confidence and a secure physical and emotional environment. The term itself is often applied to the ability to learn and acquire new skills. When students believe they can get smarter, they understand that effort makes them stronger. Therefore they put in extra time and effort, and that leads to higher achievement.This growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts. Changing our beliefs can have a powerful impact. The growth mindset creates a powerful passion for learning.
The growth mindset itself is one driven by a sense of new possibilities without excessive attachment to old mental constructs. Young people in particular tend to express the qualities of the growth mindset well as they are in a state of curious growth and willingness to adopt new ideas and logic.
By contrast the older a person gets the more fixed minded they often become - in response to repeating the same behaviors and thoughts so many times that they become deeply entrenched and the lines of thinking follow deep valleys of thoughts - which can require tremendous effort of will to think outside of.
