CELEBRATE Discomfort
Embracing a growth mindset through discomfort can be challenging, but it is an important part of your child's personal development.
One way to do this is to recognize and acknowledge your child's discomfort and encourage them to use it as an opportunity to grow.
Discuss with them about what is causing the discomfort and consider ways to address it. This gives a sense of control for when they decide to tackle. For example, if they are feeling uncomfortable in a new situation, reflect on what they can learn from the situation and how to take steps to gain the skills and knowledge needed. Or reflect on other times they have encountered a new situation and talk about the outcome of that situation. Celebrate previous successes.
Reduce the risk for your child. If the situation is new, what can we do to mitigate the risk? Can a parent accompany them? A friend? Can they visit before the entering the situation?
Lastly, set realistic goals and let them know that mistakes and expected and a part of the growth; we should celebrate mistakes as well, viewing them as learning opportunities and use them to adjust.
With a growth mindset, even uncomfortable situations can be used as an opportunity to grow and develop and CELEBRATE.
