Cultivating a Growth Mindset
A growth mindset is based on the idea that your essential qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts and assumes that everyone can grow through experience and practice[1]. A growth mindset is essential for career success.
Helpful Tip
To cultivate a growth mindset in your teen, help them to:
