A message for whanau

In the coming weeks I will be introducing a 'Growth Mindset' with tamariki. The video below is a starter for parents about what it is, and how it benefits children. No need to show this one to the kids, as I will be keen to assess where they are at prior to introducing the topic. This is for you, the parents and caregivers!

I am very passionate about this topic. It teaches children to treat themselves kindly and to always strive to improve, no matter where they are starting. Before we get started, we will be undertaking a few activities so I can observe who persists and who or what stage children opt out or in.

This knowledge is so important to know, as we (you and I) can support them from a very young age to develop their sense of identity and ownership of achievement, before they learn to that giving up is the best/easiest option.

Mani Tahi! Let's do this together.
