The Importance of a Growth Mindset

You’ve probably heard of the term growth mindset before. It’s one of those attributes we’re told are beneficial to have but its easy to miss the point of it.

So let’s break down the growth mindset.

The growth mindset is the belief that their most basic abilities can and will be improved through dedication, hard work and maximum effort. This view helps to instil a love of learning and a resilience to failure and setbacks which is essential to success and great achievements.

Having the growth mindset from a young age can help you overcome many obstacles through school and life. For example, a child with a fixed mindset who gets bad grades in English, will simply believe that they are bad at reading and/or writing. This will likely be enough to get them to stop putting in effort. However, a student with a growth mindset will acknowledge that although they have difficulty in English, they will be able to improve in the subject through hard work.

Here at StudyRight, the growth mindset is at the heart of everything we do. We encourage the growth mindset in all our students and tutors and motivate them to spread the positivity like Nutella.

We want to encourage all children to strive for their goals and believe that they can do it, no matter what, as long as they put in their all.

5 Benefits of Creative Writing

1. Self-expression: Understanding and expressing the way you feel can be a complicated task, even for adults. Writing will give children a chance to explore how they feel, as well as giving them a new way to express how they feel. This is especially beneficial for reserved children, who may shy away from discussing their feelings with those around them.

2. Self-confidence: Writing is an opportunity for children to develop their opinions and share them. The feeling accompanied by sharing your opinions instead of keeping them to yourself, as well as the feeling of being heard, can greatly improve self-confidence

3. Creativity: Perhaps the best known benefit of creative writing, but it shouldn’t be overlooked. Writing helps a great deal when it comes to creativity, and it is especially important as creativity diminishes with age. The more creative they are, the more likely they will be able to come up with multiple alternatives in difficult situations, which could be important in life and future careers.

4. Imagination: It is important for your child to exercise their imagination, as it is what can help them change the future. Although that is often scoffed at, you can not create a future that you can not imagine.

5. Communication and persuasion: Well-written pieces of work involve organising, planning and use of language. These are all important skills that will be greatly improved by regular writing. It is also excellent practice for laying out your thoughts, and trying to convince someone of a certain point of view.
