Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset

Most of the time, the difference between instilling a growth mindset or a fixed mindset in a child is very subtle. Both can involve praise but one places value on theprocess of learning while the other one is fixed on the outcome of learning.
A growth mindset creates a passion for learning rather than a hunger for approval which a fixed mindset is more likely to achieve. It’s especially important in children where cultivating a growth mindset will form a notion of non-failure. In other words, a fixed mindset will cause a child to perceive failure if they haven’t achieved a task, whereas a child with a growth mindset is unlikely to see themselves as failing despite not having achieved what they set out to achieve.

Examples of Common Fixed and Growth Mindset Phrases

Growth mindset is all about emphasis on a child’s capability rather than on how smart and intelligent they are. Here are some common conversations that show the difference between each mindset.
Fixed Mindset: “You got the answer correct, well done. You’re so smart!”
Growth Mindset: “You got the answer correct, well done. You worked so hard to understand that and you did it!”
Fixed Mindset: “You finished that puzzle so quickly! You’re really good at those – well done!”
Growth Mindset: “Well done! How about you try a more challenging puzzle? I think you can do it!”
