This course will cover how you can assess, coach, and reinforce positive mindsets and frameworks in your family.  We have designed this for parents of children who are Pre-K through teens.  This will open new understandings to help you shape and encourage positive mindsets and habits toward learning in your family.

The course begins with the insightful exercise of your own examination and understanding of your own learning mindsets.  Frequently parents don’t realize the messages they are sending about mindsets are not what they intended.  Studies have shown that parents often reinforce the negative “Fixed Mindset”, when they thought they were praising the positive “Growth Mindset.”

Learn how to monitor your own communications and how to send more consistent and positive messaging to your kids about learning.

Many children are influenced by cultural and societal messages to adopt a “Fixed Mindset” at an early age, and while you may be unaware of this, it can limit and inhibit kids in their ability and desire to learn.  Learn about “Grit” and “Growth Mindset”, and other mindsets, and how these can positively influence your child.  This course will explore how you can provide positive coaching, following useful examples, thus enabling you to have more constructive ongoing conversation on education and learning.

Learn how to create the right home environment where Growth Mindset and Grit flourish while your child is at an early age where these better mindsets are more easily be formed.  This course will include a useful roadmap that you can follow for a series of productive discussions.

Productive parent-child conversations are modeled so you can observe them and more readily adapt them to your own parenting style.
