Becoming a Growth Mindset Parent
How can I develop positive parenting habits and behaviour that support my child/ren across their lifespan?
Carol Dweck pioneered the work around growth and fixed mindset. These mindsets can be applied to learning, leadership, love, teaching and parenting. If you want to read more about the psychology of Mindset you can purchase Carol's book "Mindset: The new psychology of success. How we can learn to fulfil our potential".
Your perspectives and beliefs form your mindset, which can influence your ability to positively parent your child or children. Your mindset can both help and/or hinder you in becoming a positive role model as you manage the diverse parenting challenges that emerge.
Your mindset impacts your parenting approach throughout all ages as your child moves from baby to toddler, school student to teenager, and beyond!
Children are constantly learning and growing as individuals. They test boundaries, take risks, fail and succeed.Therefore you as a parent are constantly learning and growing too.The trials and tribulations as a parent of toddlers is different to those challenges faced by the parent of an adolescent.
As you face diverse parenting challenges you can identify your mindset and discover how your thoughts, perspectives and beliefs are both helping and hindering you in these situations.
This course will begin by identifying your cyrrent mindset as it relates to a specific parenting challenge and then suggest ways to overcome and better manage those challenges.
