\"10<\/a>There would be few parents who haven’t, over the past few years, heard the term ‘growth mindset’.<\/p>\n

It’s one of those phrases that seems to have blasted its way across the internet like a tumbleweed, gathering pace and size as it moves, leaving an entire library of ‘how to’ books in its wake.<\/p>\n

But the presence of growth mindset in fiction is less often discussed.<\/p>\n

Today, in the author spotlight for the Your Kid’s Next Read Facebook group<\/a>, author Tahnee McShane shares some thoughts about this \u2013 and a great list of children’s fiction featuring Growth Mindset.<\/p>\n

Take it away Tahnee!<\/p>\n

Growth mindset: why we need to see it in children\u2019s fiction<\/h5>\n

By now I expect you\u2019ve heard of growth mindset. To be honest, I was a sceptic when the topic was first introduced to me: I thought it was just resilience re-branded. And to a certain degree, it is.<\/p>\n

However, through my work with children and discussions with teachers and parents over the last decade, I have come to realise how important this mindset is for the future of our children.<\/p>\n

We all approach everything with a mindset. Put simply, this is our attitude with which we approach different situations in life. The opposite of growth mindset is fixed mindset.<\/p>\n

What is fixed mindset?<\/h4>\n

A fixed mindset is becoming increasingly common in the younger generations and there are plenty of theories as to why (helicopter parents, snowplough parents, social media).<\/p>\n

In the classroom, a fixed mindset rears its ugly head in children across all age groups and ability levels.<\/p>\n

There are students in prep, who will refuse to dance, because \u201cI don\u2019t dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students who \u201caren\u2019t good at maths,\u201d and therefore refuse to try.<\/p>\n

The increased appetite and expectation for instant gratification means that children often just want to find the right answer, regardless of how they come about it. Students are willing to simply correct their answer without question or without discussion. Without learning.<\/p>\n

To combat the limiting impact of fixed mindset, we can teach growth mindset.<\/p>\n

What is growth mindset?<\/h4>\n

It gives students the skills to overcome their problems. Growth-mindset gives us confidence and the courage to try, fail and try again. Students learn that challenges are exciting because we are learning and bettering ourselves.\u00a0 We teach students not to pigeon-hole themselves. We teach them to say ‘yet’.<\/p>\n

So what does this have to do with fiction?<\/h4>\n

As both an author and a teacher, I strongly feel that we can turn toward fiction as a guide for teaching a growth mindset in our children.<\/p>\n

The good news is we don\u2019t need to look for a specialised series on growth mindset when we want to introduce this concept to children at home or in the classroom. Many of our favourite children\u2019s books portray characters with growth mindset.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to turn far in the fiction world to see characters who encounter a problem, struggle, grow and then overcome their problem. It\u2019s formulaic.<\/p>\n

But when children read fiction where the characters make mistakes, or where bad things happen \u2013 it\u2019s a reflection of real life. This is where we learn the life skills of grit and determination.<\/p>\n

Reading with children and discussing the story is the best way for young children to learn about and manifest these qualities in their own lives.<\/p>\n

For older readers, strong characters can make a lasting impression that they can take with them into adulthood.<\/p>\n

10 fiction books to help kids develop a growth mindset<\/h4>\n

I’ve put together a list of children’s fiction books that show characters with a growth mindset. These are characters with a love of learning, curiosity, the ability to learn from their mistakes, and creativity.<\/p>\n

Tashi<\/a> by Anna Fienberg (ill Kim Gamble)<\/p>\n

The Digging-est Dog<\/a> by Al Perkins (ill Eric Gurney)<\/p>\n

The Hobbit<\/a> by J.R.R Tolkien<\/p>\n

Superworm<\/a> by Julia Donaldson (ill Axel Scheffler)<\/p>\n

Koala Lou<\/a> by Mem Fox (ill Pamela Lofts)<\/p>\n

The Most Magnificent Thing<\/a> by Ashley Spires<\/p>\n

Rosie Revere, Engineer<\/a> by Andrea Beaty (ill David Roberts)<\/p>\n

Beautiful Oops<\/a> by Barney Saltzberg<\/p>\n

The Cow Tripped Over The Moon<\/a> by Tony Wilson<\/p>\n

Annabel and Turtle<\/a> by Tahnee McShane (ill Mary-Ann Orchard)<\/p>\n

Why growth mindset in fiction matters<\/h4>\n

Mem Fox\u2019s character Koala Lou is a great example of growth mindset. Koala Lou is absolutely determined to win the tree climbing event in the Bush Olympics. She practices her skills daily and enters the games. Of course, Koala Lou is devastated when she doesn\u2019t win the tree climbing event.<\/p>\n

This is reflective of real life. We don\u2019t always win everything even when we try our best.<\/p>\n

And I think it’s a message that’s necessary in today’s culture. Being proud of growth, whilst also understanding that failure is more than okay \u2013 it’s necessary for growth.<\/p>\n

Using strong characters who display growth mindset as role models for children will help them to develop skills in resilience, and an appreciation for lifelong learning, both of which will enable our next generation to confidently conquer whatever challenges crop up for them in the years to come.<\/p>\n
