Does your child need a mindset shift?



Hey Reader!

Just as I mentioned last week, I've got everything you've been wondering about "mindset" from a Christian perspective new on the blog. Is it biblical? How can you teach it to your young children?

In light of all the buzz about Carol Dweck’s Mindset book and teaching kids to have a “growth mindset,” the real question is whether her idea is biblical or not? And what is a biblical mindset? How can you shape your children to grow in knowing Jesus and believe in lasting change?

Things you'll learn:

  • The basics of a fixed vs. growth mindset
  • How to easily adapt growth mindset into a biblical mindset
  • Key Bible verses to teach kids about mindset
  • How you as a mom can instill a biblical mindset in your child
  • How to raise your child to have an eternal perspective

That's all for now!

Verse of the Week

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come,” - 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
“But those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires,”- Romans 8:5 (NIV)

In seminary, one thing really stood out to me. I’m not stuck in my sins as a Christian, but I’m a new creation (2 Cor 5:17 ESV). God has already started the work of making me new.

I am a new creation. Not just that I will be some day new, but I AM a new creation. Now.

So how I think about myself matters. I can’t live in the old sinful way, but I must learn to live in the new way.

This biblical truth is at it’s core a “growth mindset” as Dweck calls it. As Christians, we call it new life in Christ. But, we must set our minds on what the Spirit desires. Read more about a biblical mindset...
