Developing a Growth Mindset
| Instead of... |
Try thinking... |
| I'm not good at this |
What am I missing? |
| I give up |
I'll use a different strategy |
| It's good enough |
Is this really my best work? |
| I can't make this any better |
I can always improve |
| This is too hard |

| I made a mistake |
Mistakes help me learn |
| I just can't do this |
I am going to train my brain |
| I'll never be that smart |
I will learn how to do this |
| Plan A didn't work |
There's always Plan B |
| My friend can do it |
I will learn from my friend |
