This worksheet is about developing a growth mindset. A growth mindset is the belief that you can improve your abilities through dedication and hard work. This is in contrast to a fixed mindset, which is the belief that your abilities are set in stone.
Purpose of the Worksheet:
- To help children challenge negative self-talk: The worksheet lists common negative thoughts that children might have when they face challenges. For example, “This is too hard for me!” or “I’ll never be as good as they are.”
- To encourage positive self-talk: The worksheet provides alternative, positive statements that children can use to replace negative thoughts. For example, instead of saying “This is too hard for me!”, a child could say “I can do this if I keep trying!”
- To promote resilience and perseverance: By practicing positive self-talk, children can learn to overcome challenges and setbacks. They can develop a belief in their own ability to learn and grow.
This worksheet is a valuable tool for helping children develop a growth mindset, which can have a positive impact on their learning, motivation, and overall well-being.
