How can we help our children become better learners? When learning is seen as a process of creating abilities rather than discovering abilities, children can embrace challenges as opportunities for growth instead of avoiding them due to fear of failure.

James Anderson and Justin Coulson explore how parents can help children leave their comfort zone and step into their learning zone, to understand that struggle and discomfort are natural and temporary parts of the learning journey and that investing effort results in hard things becoming easy. (R)

#529 The Growth Mindset with James Anderson
Learnership
Mindset – fixed vs growth.
Lifelong learners, performance learners, non-learners
Finding and following your strengths
Choosing what you want to become
Learning zones
Comfort zone – easy things you haven’t done yet
You don't get better by doing your best
Effort is the cost of growth
That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson
