Picture Books about Growth Mindset on Novel Effect

As grown-ups, we can prepare children to find opportunity in every obstacle or setback they face. Picture books about growth mindset show that sticking with a goal is the key to success. 

Failure is inevitable. Learning something new takes time, and it doesn’t always happen the first time. Read-alouds that focus on taking chances can help kids overcome challenges and develop a growth mindset. 

Children with a growth mindset believe hard work and perseverance help them learn and improve. Kids are more likely to take risks and learn from their mistakes when they have a growth mindset. Failing sometimes is part of the process.

Get your kids talking about failure with these titles and their soundscapes.
