​What is a Growth Mindset?

Start the year with one of the best ways to expand learning and productivity in all areas of your child’s life.

A growth mindset means that anything can be learned through effort and that no one is born deficient in any learning area.
​
A fixed growth attitude limits and stunts academic growth. If a fixed mindset student believes there’s no point to getting better at reading comprehension or to improving math skills, then it keeps students intellectually stuck. It can produce low self-esteem too. As adults, productivity is severely diminished and intelligence is limited.
A growth mindset tells us the opposite. Anything can be learned!

​As you may know, October is Dyslexia Awareness Month. Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, affecting one in five children. Although common, dyslexia continues to be widely misunderstood, and many children who have it are not appropriately diagnosed and are not given fitting interventions. As this month is designed to bring awareness to this disorder, we thought that it would be the perfect time to share some information with you. Our hope is that this helps you learn a little bit more about this learning difference, and if you’re a parent who is concerned about your child’s reading difficulties, it inspires you to take the first step to getting him or her the support they need.
