There are two types of mindsets: growth mindset and fixed mindset. A growth mindset is more positive and encourages a child to strive for more success. The disadvantage of a fixed mindset is that it can cause kids to give up too early or not try something. It can also lead to negativity and a passive attitude when faced with challenges. A child who has a fixed mindset starts with a disadvantage when compared to a child with a growth mindset. A child with a fixed mindset will focus on the difficulty of a task while a child with a growth mindset will focus on the possibilities of the task.
