About the event
This is a 50-minute live Zoom workshop designed for parents and teachers who want to understand what's really going on when a child says "I can't" and gives up.
We'll cover what a growth mindset actually is (and what it isn't), how to spot fixed mindset thinking at home and in the classroom, the praise research that will make you rethink every "well done" you've ever given, simple language swaps you can use from today, and how to help your child set goals they'll actually follow through on.
