Show Notes

Last week we talked about Chasing the Why - how to see the needs behind our kids' behavior and meet those needs in order to bring healing.

This episode is the needed followup to last week. If the conversation about Growth Mindsets vs Fixed Mindsets sounds familiar, it's because this phrase has become a buzz word/buzz phrase in recent years - especially in the world of academics. 

In this episode we tilt the conversation a different way and look at what it means to parent with a growth mindset instead of a fixed mindset. JD, along with Mo and Tona Ottinger look at where this term came from and how we as parents/caregivers can embrace the patience, humility and curiosity needed to model this for our kids.
