Cultivating a Growth Mindset (pt 1) 3 Key Beliefs and the Do’s and Don’ts of Parenting | Archived Episode

“We all have the power to choose how we will see a situation.” - Virginia Elder

We long for our children to have the missing piece of our own life puzzle. Whatever it was that we were missing from our own lives - maybe a talent, an opportunity, or an understanding - we hope they get blessed with what we didn’t.

Cultivating and nurturing a growth mindset in your child takes consistent actions and conversations with them over time. There are 3 key beliefs one must have to see positivity and a shortlist of Do’s and Don’ts for parents when it comes to discipline and intense situations. 

In this episode, I share about the detrimental self-beliefs I’m discovering in my son, the research I’ve done toward battling that negativity, and what we’ve been working on as a family to improve his self-esteem, instill positive beliefs about himself, and explore how we can parent toward supporting a positive outlook. 

Remember that you, and not anyone else, hold the key to your own development and the choices you make as you guide your children through similar processes. Consider how you’ll respond, how you’ll feel, and how long you’ll allow yourself to dwell on an issue.

In this episode, listen for:

• Getting on your child’s level in order to help them understand and work  through their emotions 
• Emotional intelligence and perspective can impact one’s ability to achieve financial abundance 
• The importance of expressing compassion and love even when it’s difficult to do so. Our natural inclination as parents is to immediately resort to discipline, but that’s not always beneficial

In this episode, you’ll also hear:

[00:11:33] Fair is Not Equal - We must accept that difficulties will arise. With kids, fair may not seem equal because of differences in age and activity.

[00:14:59] Not everything about us is set at birth. Discovery, practice, and personal development can help us go wherever we want to go

[00:21:17] Explaining the do’s and don’ts - Rather than focusing on specific actions, focus on your mindset and approach to the problem
