Ricci and Lee present research on neuroplasticity, IQ, and other brain-related research that proves it is possible for the brain to develop skills, talents, and capabilities that it did not possess previously. The book lays out the difference between raising or teaching children with a growth mindset, in which the child is able to achieve anything they set their mind to and work hard for, as opposed to a fixed mindset, in which every child is believed to be programmed with certain limits and capabilities. Developed in response to feedback from a group of parents, this accessible and intriguing book shows parents how to develop their own growth mindsets at home in order to instill those mindsets in their children. The book comes with exercises and other resources to assist parents in their efforts. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com) - Sourcebooks Inc.
