You have everything you need to create your very own HSC Success Story.
When we look around at those who are achieving the success which we want for ourselves, it is easy to fall into the trap of attributing those people as having ‘super powers’ i.e. they are smarter, luckier, have a better teacher…
However, in reality they have the same super powers as everyone else. The only difference being that the students who get the results are always working on developing those superpowers.
TIPS FOR PARENTS TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GROWTH MINDSET:
- Use examples from your own life experience to discuss how you developed necessary skills through determination, making mistakes and consistency of effort.
- Help your child identify a time in their life that they did develop a skill such as riding a bike, passing a rugby ball on their bad side, a particular subject they overcame challenges, learning to drive a car etc. the more your child can understand that the brain can learn new skills the better.
- If your child is making statements such as ‘I’m just hopeless at essay writing’ or ‘I just can’t do it’ this would suggest they are approaching the task with a fixed mindset so reminders that no one was born a great essay writer and no one was born a great __________ (insert a skill that your child appreciates and respects)
Approaching the HSC with the mindset and belief that you too have superpowers is a much more successful strategy than saying ‘I just can’t do it’
