Talent is developed
Research shows a positive correlation between mindset and growth. Ones who are open to new ideas, willing to take on challenges and learn from past experiences are much more likely to succeed. At Growing IQ, we value the learning process. We provide your child with an environment to stretch their limits and break through their comfort zone. We encourage perseverance and cultivate resilience. By overcoming obstacles repeatedly, they will learn to trust in their ability to grow.
If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep learning.
