Amazing Activities to Practice Growth Mindset for Kids
Are you familiar with a growth mindset and how it can help you enjoy your homeschool life?
Your thoughts and feelings have a tremendous impact on how you function in the world.
And I know you know that your kids have to deal with thoughts and feelings, too. Especially if you have tweens and teens! Lol!
Now, I’m going to let you in on a powerful little secret that I picked up during my years of counseling kids, teens, and adults: Those thoughts and feelings don’t have to be static. You CAN change them and make them work to your advantage. For real.
And the BEST way to make that change is to learn about and embrace a growth mindset 🙂

Enjoy a Fun & Positive Activity with Your Kids
One of the best ways to help you teach and practice a growth mindset for kids is Big Life Journal.
This resource is like a book and workbook in one. Through using this journal and other BLJ resources, your child learns and develops a growth mindset approach to life.
Why is a growth mindset essential to healthy functioning? As a former mental health therapist, I can attest to how vital it is to adopt and use positive thinking skills and strategies in our modern age. And our children are in dire need of having these tools in their belt to survive and thrive.

But, it can be hard to teach a growth mindset. Or even get your kids engaged long enough to care and see why it’s so worthwhile.
For any obstacle that seems daunting as a parent, I always recommend making it as interesting and fun as possible.
And these 2 free cootie catchers (color and black-and-white) with a growth mindset theme can help you do just that!

Use These 2 Free Growth Mindset Cootie Catchers with Your Kids
Growth mindset concepts are often abstract, like hope, curiosity, and courage. And you may find yourself using a lot of words to explain what each of these concepts means. Your kids might nod their heads and say they understand.
But, do they really get it? Do they really understand what having a growth mindset is all about?
You can make these growth mindset concepts come to life by pairing them with hands-on, interactive fun. This free printable Growth Mindset Fun Cootie Catchers is an easy way for you to do just that with your kids.

These cootie catchers are awesome for:
- Big Life Journal buddy time
- classroom fun
- homeschool brain break
- homeschool co-op
- family activity
You can use these 2 Growth Mindset Fun Cootie Catchers on their own, but I strongly suggest you pair it with the Big Life Journal. The inspirational stories and illustrations provide such a rich background and talking points to help your kids embrace a growth mindset.
Print out as many copies as you need for your kids, class, or library! Please feel free to use it in your homeschool co-op setting, too. I do ask that you share this post with friends if you think they’d enjoy using this resource with their kids 🙂
