This motivational reading book teaches children AND adults: - That it's okay to make mistakes - To build a healthy relationship with failure - To build resilience and mental toughness - To find ways to play to your own strengths - To practice mental and verbal affirmations
For the nerds, the research behind Growth Mindset: Children with a growth mindset do better in school and have more mature behavioral outcomes (Burnette, Billingsley, et. al. 2023). Similar studies show that adults who persevere through failure have more success than those who never failed (Siegler, 2016). Finally, correlational studies have shown that when parents have a Growth Mindset, their children are more persistent when facing challenging problems (Smiley 2000, Jose/Bellamy 2012).
