Discover how to help children and adolescents embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and build confidence through a practical, developmentally appropriate growth mindset.

• Understand what a growth mindset really is.
• Respond to mistakes and setbacks in ways that promote learning.
• Use language that encourages effort, strategy, and reflection.
• Support motivation without pressure, over-praising, or “toxic positivity.”
• Create environments where curiosity, persistence, and learning are valued over perfection.

This workshop is presented through a partnership between the New Jersey Family Engagement Hub and the Social Emotional Learning Alliance for New Jersey.
