Encourage a Growth Mindset Praise your child: for their effort in school (even when they fail). when they take on and persist through challenges. when they learn from criticism. Encourage your child: to see that intelligence is grown with hard work. to be more focused on the process of learning than the result of the final grade. When students believe that they can get smarter through their hard work, they will improve faster and experience greater success than students who do not believe this.
