Fixed Versus Growth Mindset

Fixed Versus Growth Mindset

Author: Amber Scotchburn July 3, 2016 Duration: 0:00
What we feed grows! Think of a flower when it doesn’t bloom, we don’t put the blame on the flower; we look at the environment the flower is in and see if it’s getting what it needs to grow. Let’s do the same for our children.

Amber Scotchburn hosts Parenting…With A Twist, a conversation for anyone who finds the standard advice doesn't quite fit their family's reality. This isn't about theoretical ideals or perfect scenarios; it's grounded in the messy, wonderful, and often surprising day-to-day life of raising children. Each episode feels like a candid chat with a thoughtful friend, one who understands that the path to raising capable, kind kids is rarely a straight line. You'll hear honest stories, practical strategies that have been tested in real homes, and perspectives that challenge the usual parenting scripts. The focus here is on success defined by connection and character, not just checklists and achievements. Tune in for a sense of camaraderie and a fresh take on the common challenges every family faces. This podcast is built on the simple, powerful belief that ordinary parents are already equipped to do extraordinary things, they just sometimes need a new angle. Join Amber to find that twist that makes everything click.
