A growth mindset means believing that you can get better at things with practice and effort. Instead of thinking, 'I can't do this,' someone with a growth mindset says, 'I can't do this yet!' For example, if you struggle with math problems, a growth mindset helps you understand that with more practice, you will improve. This way of thinking encourages you to keep trying, learn from mistakes, and believe in yourself!
