What is a growth mindset for kids?

A growth mindset is the belief that you can get better at something with practice and effort. A child with a fixed mindset says I can't do it, while a child with a growth mindset says I can't do it yet. The growth mindset pages have children sort fixed and growth mindset sentences, add the word yet, and read a short story about a girl who learns from a mistake.

What does size of the problem mean?

Size of the problem is a way to help children match their reaction to what happened. A small problem, like losing a pencil, needs a small reaction and can be fixed alone. A big problem, like someone getting hurt, needs a grown-up right away. Sorting problems into small, medium and big on paper makes it easier to remember in the moment.

Are these social-emotional learning worksheets tied to a standard?

No. Social-emotional learning is taught alongside the core subjects, and these pages are not tagged to a Common Core or C3 Framework standard. Many schools follow their own SEL program, and these worksheets fit next to any of them as practice and discussion starters.

Frequently Asked Questions

At 6 to 8, children are ready for bigger feeling words like frustrated, nervous and proud, and for noticing what caused a feeling. They practice solving friendship problems, giving compliments, seeing a situation from someone else's point of view, telling a small problem from a big one, and choosing a calm down strategy that works for them.
