Developing a Growth Mindset with Carol Dweck

Should you tell your kids they are smart or talented? Professor Carol Dweck answers this question and more, as she talks about her groundbreaking work on developing mindsets. She emphasizes the power of "yet" in helping students succeed in and out of the classroom.
Carol Dweck is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology and, by courtesy, at the Graduate School of Education. A leading expert in the field of motivation, her research has demonstrated the role of mindsets in students’ achievement and has shown how praise for intelligence can undermine motivation and learning. She has lectured to education, business and sports groups all over the world, and has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. She has appeared on Today, Good Morning America, Nightline and 20/20. Her bestselling book Mindset has been widely acclaimed and translated into over 20 languages.

Being labelled 'smart' my whole 16 years lead me to working on the easiest stuff to prevent failure. Now I think I have to challenge myself more even to the point of failures as a means of reeducating myself into an ever-growing minded person for the sake of my future. To all the smart kids out there, don't be surprised when the 'dumb' kids are happier than you in the future

[@DarkLordAli95]

same. being called smart has been very damaging to me. I can't stand doing something that makes me feel stupid.

[@phantomdestiny]

yes! a possibility of failure gives me anxiety attack..

[@SparkTFS]

I feel the same. In my case, I'm still trying to grasp the concept of forcing myself to go after things even if they make me feel unconfortable. I'm not there yet, but I'm trying.

[@stix5472]

yeah, I'm the same. Always being called 'smart' and having naturally been good in school lead me into arrogance, which became self awareness and now, an effort to make myself better.

When I was a classroom assistant, i got into trouble for getting a kid to read a few grades above what he was supposed to be reading. He was allegedly the worst behaved boy in the school, but all I said to him: 'I believe you can read this.' He looked the happiest I had ever seen anyone, just for a moment. And he did try, he worked hard. What do the bureaucrats think is supposed to happen to any of us?

Exactly what is your point? If you think there is a correlation in reading level and behaviour problems then I find it hard to believe you were any good helping the classroom. Being a terror and a good reader is just as possible as being a sweetheart and awful reader.

[@marianagoulart196]

@@TheRadioAteMyTV Her point is that she gave the kid an incentive to try something above his level and encouraged him to face some challenges. This is encouraging growth mindset. It's correlated to bad behavior because often kids who are trouble makers have very low self-esteem and don't see a future for themselves, so they just give up of even trying. Of course a growth mindset might not solve all the problems, but it's a way to work with it. Just watch her talk again, it seems you didn't understand the concept of growth mind.

[@salvattoremacedo]

"I believed you can do this" sounds compassionate and it's not a good a perspective for a boy with behavioral problems. He may had have an auto scheme different about him, so when you told him that, he did the opposite. Growth mindset is not a therapy. It's just a perspective to understand that we can find solutions instead of stay cold against problems. It's not about telling everyone that they can be whatever they want. That's not how it works.

Look at learning a trade. Oftentimes with boys and men they learn through figuring tasks out and accomplishing sth hands on. That is oftentimes the reason they feel out of place, which also contributed to diagnosing some with adhd among other stuff. What I'm saying is that it is a different style of learning. Plus, if you get around people where it is task based your anxiety will subside. And you will build a skill, which makes you competent and comfortable with yourself. Plus in a trade, you will be able to use the skills in areas besides on your job! Repair your house or that of a friend etc..

My grandfather taught school in a one-room schoolhouse in the WV coal camps in the 30s-60s. He always told his students "there's no such thing as a dumb person, just someone who hasn't learned something yet". He challenged his kids to come to school each day ready to share something they had learned the day before, whether it was a word from a dictionary or the name of a bird in their yard or something they learned from an older relatives' college textbook. He taught them that everyone had something to share and that they could learn from each other and from parents, friends, life as well as teachers and books. Many of his students lacked shoes, coats, food. He solved those things for them by networking with families who might have hand-me-downs and from having a daily lunch for all the kids sponsored by local businesses, with leftovers strategically placed for those most in need. He figured that if you're hungry and cold you don't have the energy to learn. Some students had parents who couldn't see why their kids needed school when they did just fine signing for their paycheck with an X. He taught classes for adults who wanted to learn to read, and many of them passed on the joy of reading the Bible to their families or learning about things that they were interested in through books and the cessation of shame at being illiterate to their co-workers in the mines, so eventually that resistance lessened. I remember one gentleman coming up and shaking my hand at his funeral and gushing over how much better off the kids were being able to read, write, go to college or get a job somewhere besides the coal mines. He called Granddaddy a treasure. I think Granddaddy would have said that the kids were his treasures. We need more people who believe a first-grader can still teach a twelfth-grader something and that can communicate that there's no fear or shame in that to both of them.

[@TheKatherine16]

“Adults constantly raise the bar on smart children, precisely because they're able to handle it. The children get overwhelmed by the tasks in front of them and gradually lose the sort of openness and sense of accomplishment they innately have. When they're treated like that, children start to crawl inside a shell and keep everything inside. It takes a lot of time and effort to get them to open up again. Kids' hearts are malleable, but once they gel it's hard to get them back the way they were.” ― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

[@leannegwakeling3177]

@@lyssamarie2488 how have you done since finding this insight? I know as pretty bright kids, my parents used to "encourage" my sisters and I. It's been interesting over the last few years, as I've been on my journey to healing my inner child, also talking to my parents about my experience from my perspective. They were so shocked. their intentions were always meant to be encouragement. Expect for me it was like I could never do or be enough. I do have a growth mindset, and parts of me get stuck too. Brene Brown's work can be a great place to start to get perspective on yourself, if you are interested and haven't read her work yet. She has a great TED talk from around 2012. I didn't know that my own dysfunction was fixable, it was part of the disconnect. We are not all or nothing. We can be growth mindset in one part and fixed in others. It's what drives the work I do.

More people need the growth mindset in their life

Your comment is over a year old, but I'd recommend checking out the book "Art and Fear" - it's basically a book geared to artists and those involved in the art making process.

[@MsDURRRRRRRR]

If I may suggest, take the word "try" like in "I'll try to do it" out of your vocabulary. "TRY" allows us to fail because we think, "at least I tried to do it." If you're going to do something, be straight up and say, "I'm building"..."I'm learning"... etc. Say it like you are doing it. As Yoda from Star Wars says, "Either you do or you don't, there is no try!" Also take "will" out of your language. "I will do..." is future based so you. Whether you believe in Jesus or the Bible or not, according to the writer of the Bible book that includes this saying, Jesus said, "Pray as if you already have, and it'll be given unto you." Our subconscious believes every word we say. Whether it be a joke, sarcasm, a lie and so on, our subconscious takes it as truth and seeks a way to make it reality. So, when we say things like "I will try, " our subconscious doesn't put much effort into it, or "I will write the letter," subconscious again doesn't put much effort and actually may even sabotage your efforts in doing it as it thinks you are going to do it in the future. Be very careful what you tell your subconscious by what you allow to come out of your mouth or into your thoughts. I hope these support you in developing your growth mindset and succeeding in your art. Finally, remember Coach Eagle says, FAILURE is "Falling Ahead In Life Until Reaching Expertise!" If you fall backwards, you're looking up so you can get up and continue. If you fall forward, you made progress so you can get up and continue making progress.

[@HabitLabPodcast]

I have read "Mindset" and I read "Grit" by Angela Duckworth, and there she mentions the growth mindset research as well, and what stuck with me is how the mindset is more of PRACTICE than just a belief system you adopt . Even when we understand what the growth mindset answer to the problem is, we all still slip into some fixed mindset ways. It's like just because you KNOW what you should do means you will automatically do it every single time. We all need reminders and little practices to keep us moving in that direction. It put into perspective that this way of thinking is like a lot of things, something we have to continually work on.

He introduced me to her work. Last year, I had to prepare a talk based on PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS. This time, I was on my own - no sponsors, very little resources.

As an indian, in spite of going to an international school for most of my life I feel our mindset was made to be a fixed mindset, more like if you fail a test you were just considered lesser and not motivated to aspire differently. I feel if I was brought up differently and encouraged to think differently rather than just achieve that next A would have made me have a growth mindset. I feel so sad but I hope a growth mindset takes me away from this.

Hi Aaron, The fact that you committed to changing to a growth mindset means that you've taken charge and are headed in the right direction. More power to you! And I am joining you too in the same direction. Cheers!

[@HabitLabPodcast]

I can relate to what you are saying as well. i also had high expectations and wound up always feeling like no matter what i achieved it was never good enough. I remember completely doubting all my smarts in first year university when i got my first C+ my entire academic career after only ever being in the top. All my hopes and dreams of becoming something came into question and i doubted myself so much. I've thought many times i have reached my peak in terms of smarts, this is what i have to give, because things became harder and it wasn't easy to make progress anymore. You can be very high achieving and still have a fixed mindset. So realizing that as an adult was definitely eye opening and is making me tread out into uncomfortable waters to be more growth minded. It's sucks, but it's better knowing NOW and moving through it, then sticking your head back in the sand and thinking the time has somehow passed. It's a process, but there are many of us out there going through the same realizations. :) You can do it!

I love the Growth Mindset / Fixed Mindset distinction. Very powerful. One of the things I've noticed though is people tend to think of Growth vs Fixed as a complete personality trait, but my experience is a lot people can have a Growth mindset about some things and a fixed mindset about others. It's like we're capable of having both Mindsets in different contexts. Is that an accurate observation?

[@WarsmithGoz]

That's exactly what I had in the back of my mind while reading the examples in her book, it's unfair to label others in the Fixed Mindset when everyone can apply the Growth Mindset to things they care about. It's really just a matter of one's priorities.

[@komibim]

she mentioned exactly in the book what you've described in this comment. she also mentions this differentiations of mindsets acts as a base towards how you perceive the problem, breaking down the problem, solving the problem, and the aftermath of what you'd became-assuming the problem is solved. she also openly admits that she still sometimes stumbled into fixed mindset in one or two things. yet she continuously aligning her mindset towards growth mindset and founding further progress along the way as compared to what she would only achieved if she chose to use fixed mindset. i think seeing problems with different mindsets standpoint is what she actually baited us to do. and by breaking down what growth mindset could do in the same problem might change how we perceive, solve, and how we'd became based on the aftermath of facing the problem-while using growth mindset.

[@komibim]

did i just reply to a 2 year-old comment? heh, a typical me. unless, this is a learning progress to be more aware of my surrounding-oh, this might be my growth mindset telling me to be more present in the moment. hell, what self-growth i would achieve if I had used growth mindset sooner?

For me it was this notion that l was smarter than everyone and l have to earn the highest marks in High school even now in collage (the hard work equates to good results. Was not working and it still is.). It's unhealthy because obviously the only person you talk this negative talk with is yourself. It's a negative feedback loop that should change for anyone experiencing it. ❤️. I'm currently in the early stages of growing out the fixed mindset but slowly to get away from it.

"How are we raising our kids? Are we raising them for now or for 'yet?'" Very good question, I think every parent should ask themselves this. Do you react in the negative about a bad grade on their report card, or do you encourage a mindset of "do better next time, you can make it up, etc."? For me, it was often not a lack of effort, but a failure of the teacher to make the subject engaging. If I can't engage with a topic, my mind will often wander over to more interesting things like Minecraft or other such games.

My fixed mindset was there, driving my life: “if I failed it’s because I am stupid” “if I lost is because I am not talented enough” “if I hurt people’s feelings is because I am bad” Gosh, how energy-drowning is this? All the time? 24/7? Her book is a revelation. I now know I am always in a process of becoming better, and it’s hard or impossible to achieve/complete/win without the proper effort and hard work behind.

I do see the need to study for A's. It is all about testing and quizzing them, but how much is retained? Thank you for your work and for helping people grow and succeed.

The places where you live, the people, the situations mean a lot. It is very easy to have a negative, evasive, distrustful mentality, "Fixed" as she call, If there are no stimuli around your places to improve. I have been living abroad for 7 years, and this new place has improved me in many aspects, especially my "mental schemes". I have had many more opportunities here than in my country for a lifetime to improve my person.

She reminds me of the lovely and gifted Marian Seldes. Two great women

In my family, I never give negative feedback to my daughter, instead I only tell her nice things and how proud I am because she is only 10, but can manage to do simple addition such as 2+30.

They say this is how Jewish parents raise their kids :) Strict but always saying how great they are.

Also very important to see how to grow as an adult and in the workplace

on the one hand, I've been told since I was very young that I had a very high IQ, and I've always tested extremely high on standardized tests without using any prep classes. But on the other hand, from a young age, I've always worked hard (getting up at 4 or 5 am each morning), stayed organized and focused, and always only succeeded when I outworked the other side. The other key point is, once you become a scientist, or a patent agent, EVERYONE in your peer group will be similarly skilled, so the only way to succeed is to work hard, be a team player and to continue to improve at your core skills. It's kind of like sports--you might have been good in high school, good in college, but the pros are a whole other level. You need to work to develop your skills further and further as life goes on. The growth mindset means thinking positively and casting away the notion that you have limitations or boundaries.

We had our annual parents meeting with our school teachers yesterday, to be informed about the year's curriculum and the changes in this year (year 2) the Year 2 team are practicing 'Growth Mindset', we were shown a you tube video about it, and Carol Dweck talking about it. Myself and some other parents are really excited about it but at the crossing this morning I was shocked and appalled to hear the response of a woman when asked her opinion on 'Growth Mindset' because her evaluation of it is (probably without research even) was 'absolute tosh, there's nothing wrong with me telling my child it's brilliant and praising it's acheivements'. I had a hard time not responding, 'Nothing at all, they're already going to grow up as a narrow minded individual, just like you'

This is excellent but it takes a positive growth mindset!

[@keerthanascbz2590]

Thank you Professor Dweck❤ Reading your book "Mindset" has been the best decision of my life.i was reluctant to work hard thinking that i should be smart inherently. If it hadn't been your book , i would have still went on with the fixed mindset of mine.
