Growth mindset video is a great way to help kids reach their full potential.

Whether you have a fixed or growth mindset is one of the biggest determining factors on whether or not a person reaches his or her full potential. Growth mindset facilitates a hunger for learning and valuing mistakes as an opportunity to learn instead of a sign of failure.

The concept of growth mindset is based on research by Carol Dweck. Videos are a great way to teach kids about growth mindset in the classroom or at home.

People with a fixed mindset want to look smart, so they avoid challenges, because to them, mistakes are a signal that they are not smart. They ignore mistakes and give up easily. Kids with a fixed mindset feel threatened by the success of others. People with a fixed mindset often do not reach their full potential.

On the other hand kids with a growth, mindset have a desire to learn. They look at mistakes as a natural part of learning. They see effort as a path to mastery. People with a growth mindset learn from criticism. They find lessons and inspiration in the success of others. Children with a growth mindset reacher higher levels of achievement.

When children have a growth mindset they see failure as an opportunity to learn. When children have a fixed mindset they see failure as a proof that they are a failure or that they are not smart or not talented.
