Growth Mindset Affirmation Cards for Kids

Encourage a growth mindset in your child with these Growth Mindset Affirmation cards. A growth mindset means believing talents can be developed over time, often with hard work and effort. Kids who have a growth mindset are shown to achieve more than those who believe talent is innate and “fixed”. An effective way for kids to develop a growth mindset is through the example set by parents and other adults important in kids’ lives. While the affirmations on these cards can’t take the place of real interactions with these adults, they can serve to reinforce the growth mindset message kids are already hearing from adults at home or school.  These cards can be: A reference during the school day when placed on a ring in your child’s backpack  Reminders at home when taped to a mirror or tacked to a bulletin board so kids see them each time they pass by An interactive family exercise when kids or parents can pick two or three cards from a bowl and read them out loud as a daily reminder.
