✨ Tip Tuesday: Growth Mindset & Self-Reflection ✨

When a child is struggling, it’s easy to focus on the behavior we see.
A growth mindset invites us to pause, reflect, and get curious instead.

💭 Instead of asking “What’s wrong?”
➡️ Try asking “What’s going on underneath this behavior?”

Self-regulation isn’t something children should already know it’s a skill that develops with support, modeling, and practice. When we shift from judgment to curiosity, we create space for learning, connection, and growth.

Small mindset shifts can make a big difference for children and the adults supporting them.

Getting Back Into School Routines After a Break

School breaks can disrupt sleep, structure, and emotional regulation. When routines feel hard again, it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong—it means your child is adjusting.
Tips:

🕰 Reset gradually
Shift bedtime, wake-up, and homework routines a little each day instead of all at once.

📋 Make routines visible
Visual schedules and checklists reduce reminders and power struggles.

🧠 Explain the “why”
Children are more cooperative when they understand expectations (“Routines help our brains feel calm and ready.”)

💗 Focus on connection first
Start routines with a moment of positive attention before giving directions.

🌊 Expect pushback and stay consistent
Resistance is part of transition. Calm consistency builds regulation over time.

Routines aren’t about control they’re about helping children feel safe, supported, and capable as they return to school.

✨ Tip Tuesday: New Year, New Mindset ✨

Parenting Tip for the New Year:

Instead of focusing on resolutions, focus on reflections and intentions.

✔ Talk with your child about:
• One thing they’re proud of from last year
• One thing they want to keep working on
• One word they want their year to feel like (calm, brave, kind, confident)

💡 Why it helps:
This builds emotional awareness, growth mindset, and self-confidence—without pressure or perfection.

✨ Reminder: Progress > perfection. Small steps count.

🌱 Tip Tuesday from Growing Minds Psychology

Help Your Child Reset After School

Afternoons can feel overwhelming for kids—especially after a full day of listening, learning, and following directions. A simple after-school “reset routine” can make all the difference.

✨ Tip:
Create a 10–15 minute transition time when your child gets home. This could include a snack, quiet play, drawing, a walk, or simply time alone in their room. When kids decompress first, they’re more ready for homework, conversation, and cooperation.

🩷A regulated child is a more connected child.

✨ Parenting Tip Tuesday – Holiday Edition! ✨

The holidays bring joy, magic… and sometimes a little chaos.

Here’s a gentle reminder: Kids thrive with simple routines and clear expectations even during the excitement of the season.

🎁 Holiday Parenting Tip:

Keep one or two anchor routines (like bedtime or mealtime) consistent. This helps children feel secure and reduces overwhelm with all the festivities.

At Growing Minds Psychology, we’re here to support your family through every season. 💖💜🌿
