No Child is Born Confident.
Any Child Can Become Confident.
What is a Mindset?
A mindset is an individual’s view, a unique lens, on the world. Mindset is the attitude with which a person approaches situations in life. It is a state of mind based on personal beliefs. These beliefs guide their actions.
What is a Skill set?
A skill set is the collection of skills that an individual has developed to use in life. It is the combination of knowledge, experience, and abilities that have developed through continual actions of practice.
Why Mindset Before Skill Set?
- An individual’s mindset impacts their eagerness to develop new skills. A mindset of confidence fosters a “why not” attitude toward new opportunities and encourages consistent practice, which leads to skill development.
- When it comes to academics, a child’s mindset shapes their approach to learning. Embracing difficulties and persisting through practice helps them master complex concepts, strengthen problem-solving, and turn obstacles into opportunities—such as achieving an A on their test!
- When trying a new sport, confidence isn’t instant. But with the right mindset, challenges become opportunities for growth. This perspective encourages regular practice and openness to feedback, enabling them to unlock potential, build confidence, and celebrate milestones like scoring their first goal!
