Who is this for?
Our Growth Mindset program is designed for:
Children aged 6–12 who need support in building confidence, resilience, and motivation.
Parents who want to equip their kids with practical tools for handling challenges.
What will they learn?
Resilience & Perseverance
How to keep trying, even when things feel tough — building grit in everyday situations like homework, sports, or friendships.
The Power of “Yet”
How to shift from “I can’t do this” to “I can’t do this… yet.”
Positive self-talks skills: replacing negative thoughts with empowering ones
How to Turn Mistakes into Learning
Instead of feeling defeated by failure, they’ll see mistakes as stepping stones to success.
Creative Problem-Solving
Fun challenges that show them how to try different strategies, not just give up when the first attempt doesn’t work.
About The Facilitator
In many of my coaching sessions with adults, I’ve often thought: “If only this person had these tools as a child, they wouldn’t feel so stuck or overwhelmed today.” That thought became a calling.
I believe children deserve to know from a young age that they are capable of overcoming obstacles — that challenges aren’t barriers, but opportunities to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient. Problems aren’t the end of the road; they’re stepping stones that shape us into who we’re meant to be.
Anerene Rossow
I have always had a heart for working with children. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting and guiding kids as both an au pair and an online English teacher. These experiences have shown me the incredible potential children carry, as well as the challenges they face when self-doubt or fear of failure holds them back.
I believe in the Growth Mindset for Kids program because I’ve seen how powerful it is when a child learns that mistakes are not the end, but a chance to grow.
This program is more than just lessons — it’s about giving children the tools, encouragement, and confidence to believe in themselves.
