The idea of a growth mindset is based on the reasoning that we can learn from our mistakes and improve our skills through practice and persistence. A quick way to convey this mindset to our child is by using the phrase "for now." When a child faces a difficulty or a negative thought, adding the phrase "for now" can turn a challenge into an opportunity and negative feelings into hope. For example, the phrase: "I haven't made any friends" becomes: "I haven't made any friends for now." Although the difference may seem small at first glance, the addition of the phrase "for now" shows that change is possible and that your child has the power to change the things that upset them in their life.
