I started off my growth mindset challenege with my children
at school. I currently run a “homework club” (at an afterschool program) where
for 30 minutes they do their homework and then go to an activity. I wanted to
see if having a positive attitude from all of the staff and being overly
excited would help. I have to say I think it has. We really struggled with the
kids not wanting to do worksheets if they did not have homework. There was a
level of disrespect I was receiving from them. I feel like I have given them
speeches until I am blue in the face. They have finally gotten to a state in
which they accept that they have to get their work done. We also established a
reward system with prizes and getting to do a different activity earlier for
good behavior. I am proud to say that a positive attitude means everything!
