Chapters 5-6 Discussion Prompt
Choose a quote that resonates with you from Chapters 5-6 to share with your group.

Meeting 3 Challenge: Embrace the difficult!
View challenges as opportunities.
Having a growth mindset means relishing opportunities for self-improvement. Encourage your child to forget taking the easy route (where little learning is done) and instead embrace challenges. When your child makes a mistake or falls short of a goal, they haven’t failed; they have learned.
