One of the major factors that contributes to your child becoming mentally strong is
learning a \u201cgrowth mind set.\u201d That means, the more you can give your child ways to
practice flexible thinking and adaptability, the faster your child will build skills in social-
emotional intelligence which leads to a sense of competence.

It all starts in the home environment, you be the energy that generates a supportive,
positive, enthusiasm for learning and life. You introduce your child to the ways they can
become competent, flexible, industrious and adventuresome. Talk about the ability to
see things from a new perspective and different viewpoints; It can be as simple as
playing a game and seeing several steps ahead of time.

A growth mindset is both preparedness to the expected and openness to the
unexpected. Show your child how to problem-solve using two different moves, like in a
game. Demonstrate how to see different vantage points. Here\u2019s how.

BRANCHING OUT\u2014 YOU CHOOSE \u2014GO RIGHT OR GO LEFT?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a tree with two large branches growing outward from its trunk. You might want
to illustrate using a tree outdoors, a photo or make a drawing while sitting at the kitchen
table. Now, let\u2019s say, the branch to the left we\u2019ll call \u201cA\u201d and the branch to the right we\u2019ll
call \u201cB.\u201d You have the ability to choose. For example, say you are planning to ask a
friend to join you to do something, if he says \u201cyes\u201d that\u2019s \u201cA\u201d and you know what you\u2019ll
do. But if he says \u201cno\u201d that\u2019s \u201cB\u201d then you have to plan out what to do instead.
In this way, you still feel OK and in charge of your energy and emotions thereby
keeping your inner balance. When you have a growth mindset, you are prepared,
ahead of time, with both \u201cA\u201d and \u201cB\u201d decision. This way you feel more control. You don\u2019t
have to let the outside world upset you. You have enough awareness to know both are
OK. And you develop inner strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
