What might a child who is Building Learning Power say? I never give up. I like my work to be difficult – it means I am learning. I love challenges. I believe I can get more intelligent by working hard. I feel good when I’m learning something new. I learn from my mistakes.
We need to praise effort and strategy and progress ‘You’re so brilliant, you got an A without even studying!’ ‘You learnt that so quickly! You’re so clever!’
Parents as learners: Modelling by: • Embracing challenge • Practising skills • Learning from mistakes • Building aspirations • Would you ever admit it’s okay not to be able to read??
