Storybox Playlist: Stories for When Things Go Wrong

One of the most powerful concepts in parenting and education is the idea of “growth mindset.” It’s the strategy of encouraging children (and adults!) to shape their goals around study, practice, and training — and to base success from that delta of improvement rather that a fixed, final grade. When growth mindset is adopted, you’re inspired to take risks and give more time and effort to learning.(You can read more in “The Magic of Mindset” blog post.)

We’ve curated a storybox full of growth mindset examples so that you and the children in your life can envision a world where mistakes aren’t failures — just opportunities for more growth.
