“Children need to fail. They need to feel sad, anxious and angry. When we impulsively protect our children from failure, we deprive them of learning skills. When they encounter obstacles, if we leap in to bolster self-esteem…to soften the blows and to distract them with congratulatory ebullience, we make it harder for them to achieve mastery. And if we deprive them of mastery, we weaken self-esteem just as certainly as if we had belittled, humiliated and physically thwarted them at every turn.”
MARTIN SELIGMAN

Strategies: fixed mindset
Carol Dweck has found that students with a fixed mindset keep using the wrong strategy when faced with a problem.
Then they disengage from the problem.
Finally, they give up.

The body in the brain
A homunculus is used to describe the relative amount of space our body parts occupy in the brain.
In a model of motor functions, some parts are much bigger because we use them much more, or with more accuracy.

Evidence from neuroscience
Rats in a rich environment have heavier brains, by 10%, than those in a boring environment.
Taxi drivers have bigger areas which deal with 3D space – the hippocampus - than non-taxi drivers.
Musicians have a larger auditory cortex.
Learning helps neurons grow and make connections

Summary
A growth mindset helps people to be motivated and to succeed.
A growth mindset can be learnt.
We can foster a growth mindset in others by the type of feedback we give and by teaching them about the brain’s huge potential.
Role models give people evidence of the growth mindset in action.
