As you know, we have developing a growth mindset with our children this year. This is where the children develop ‘can do’ attitudes based on the fact that making mistake is all part of learning, not giving up leads to success and there are times we need to be very resilient in order to achieve our goals.

What we say to our children – and what they say to themselves – is a crucial part of helping them develop a growth mindset. We have shown what children could be saying to themselves when they are ‘stuck’- either because they are finding things a challenge or because they are not willing to put effort in in order to achieve their best.
