Try a free sampleThe techniques draw on published studies of how children grow and how parents cope. A few of the findings behind them:
These are findings from independent research. They are not results from using Growmind guides.
Across six studies, children praised for effort chose harder tasks, enjoyed them more and recovered better from setbacks than children praised for being smart.
Mueller and Dweck (1998), Journal of Personality and Social PsychologyToddlers whose parents praised effort and strategy were more likely, five years later, to enjoy challenges and believe their abilities can grow.
Gunderson et al. (2013), Child DevelopmentIn a brain-imaging study, putting a feeling into words reduced activity in the amygdala, the brain's alarm system.
Lieberman et al. (2007), Psychological ScienceAcross 213 school programmes and more than 270,000 students, building social and emotional skills raised achievement by 11 percentile points.
Durlak et al. (2011), Child DevelopmentNew Zealand's Dunedin Study followed 1,000 children to age 32. Self-control in childhood predicted their health, finances and substance use as adults.
Moffitt et al. (2011), PNASA review of 25 studies found mindful parenting programmes reduced parents' stress and brought small but real improvements for children.
Burgdorf et al. (2019), Frontiers in PsychologyOptional extras that keep the ideas close at hand, on the fridge, at the table or by the bed.
