Waarom het werkt
Children with growth mindset actively seek challenging tasks because they understand that challenges help them learn and improve. By explicitly offering choices and discussing challenge-seeking, you help your child develop the belief that difficult tasks are opportunities rather than threats. Research demonstrates that students with growth mindset show greater resilience and actively pursue challenges.

Tips voor ouders
Frame choices neutrally: 'This puzzle is easier because you've done it before. This one is trickier because the pieces are smaller. Which do you want to try?'
If they choose the easy option, respect it and try again another day. If they choose the challenge, focus your praise on the choice itself: 'You picked the trickier one. That takes courage.'
