There are two perspectives about intelligence that exist on a continuum: growth mindset and fixed mindset. Research suggests that children with different mindsets tend to hold different beliefs about effort and difficulties and make different choices about learning.

Let’s explore the differences and the effects of mindset on children’s self-motivation!
