Into the book
People with a growth mindset respond to bad grades or difficult tasks by putting in more effort.
They don't take failure lightly and keep trying until they succeed.
That is, they have a positive study mindset.
Above all, they differ from people with a fixed mindset in that they accurately assess their own abilities.
(…) Also, people with a growth mindset compare themselves to their past rather than to others.
They are proud of their achievements and rarely give up.
---「Chapter 1.
From “Let’s start by nurturing a child’s growth mindset”
Considering learning types, parents' responses to helping their children study were largely divided into four categories.
First, “My child learns much faster and better than before, and he enjoys studying!” Second, “The stress from studying and homework has been reduced, so the atmosphere at home has improved!” Third, “I’ve come to understand my child better, regardless of studying, and because of that, our relationship has improved!” Finally, some parents sometimes say this.
“Through this opportunity, I was able to figure out my learning style.
Thanks to this, learning something became easier.
Thank you!"
---Chapter 2.
From “Let’s respect the child’s learning style”
When children lose motivation, parents fall into despair.
I completely understand that feeling.
Parents are heartbroken when they see their children reluctantly sitting at their desks or even refusing to go to school after nagging them so much that their mouths are worn out.
But if you pressure the child, scare them, offer shallow rewards, or try to persuade them hastily with logical arguments, the desperate situation will only get worse.
But just realizing this is half the problem solved.
And if I choose and apply the right motivational tools to my child, the rest will start to fall into place.
It is quickly apparent what moves a child's heart.
A child who finds true motivation changes his or her expression and behavior.
So now things can only get better.
---Chapter 3.
From "The Secret to Motivating a Child with No Motivation"
Perhaps you are reading this book because your child is struggling with schoolwork and school life.
A typical factor that makes studying difficult for children is the habit of procrastinating or putting things off endlessly.
Isn't this a situation we often encounter in everyday life?
(…) The tendency to procrastinate varies from child to child.
Even for the same task, some children procrastinate more, and some children procrastinate less.
But procrastination is fundamentally a learned behavior, and unfortunately, the tendency becomes stronger with experience.
So, if parents know these facts, it will be easier to understand their child's procrastination.
---「Chapter 4.
Let's control situations that make it difficult for children to study"
If you set a goal and start working, you will be able to focus better.
Because we have goals, we can understand what each step and activity means and what the ultimate outcome will be.
When you're working toward a worthwhile goal, you can put more effort into the difficult parts.
Well-set goals also help children know exactly what to do right now.
A child who always keeps the overall goal in mind can steadily move toward the destination, even when each moment is uncertain.
---Chapter 5.
From “Let’s set attractive goals”
It doesn't matter what grade your child is in.
The most important thing for a child is to find his or her own strengths.
Every child has strengths.
(…) Therefore, parents should consciously try to look at their child’s strengths.
And, regardless of school grades, you must also believe that the combination of those strengths will lead your child to success in life (career).
To do that, first and foremost, the child must know his or her own strengths.
---「Chapter 6.
From "Let's Strengthen Our Strengths"
We want our children to grow beyond their limits, to challenge themselves in new worlds beyond their comfort zones, and to discover and learn new things in a wide and diverse world.
That's why we need to foster and maintain positive emotions about mistakes.
Let us remember the saying, “A person who doesn’t make mistakes doesn’t try many different things.”
---Chapter 10.
From “A wrong answer is an opportunity”
Our brains, overwhelmed by anxiety, are like a snowball that has been shaken.
Just as artificial snow and glitter swirl around wildly, making it difficult to see inside a marble, anxiety shakes the brain, making it difficult to think clearly.
My vision goes dark and I feel sure that everything I've studied has disappeared.
But in reality, everything is still there, just anxiety obscuring your vision.
There's only one thing I can do at that time: put the snowball down and wait for the glitter and snow to settle.
---「Chapter 11.
From “How to overcome test anxiety”
As children go through school, they learn that they are graded on things like listening to someone or creating something.
But as time goes by, children become less interested in listening to others or making things with their own hands, especially when it has nothing to do with grades.
Even when teachers put in the effort to assign a task that's just right for a child, the first question they ask is, "Will I get grades for doing this?"
If you say no, you won't be motivated to do anything, no matter how fun it may seem.
What a pity this is.
No one would have expected this outcome and based their grading system on it, but it is one of the unintended and unavoidable side effects of grading.
They don't take failure lightly and keep trying until they succeed.
That is, they have a positive study mindset.
Above all, they differ from people with a fixed mindset in that they accurately assess their own abilities.
(…) Also, people with a growth mindset compare themselves to their past rather than to others.
They are proud of their achievements and rarely give up.

From “Side Effects of Scores and Tests”
Publisher's Review
“Habits formed at age three last until age eighty.”
Negative study habits hinder a child's academic progress throughout his or her life.
We often refer to the proverb, “Habits formed at age three last until age eighty” when referring to bad habits or wrong lifestyle habits.
However, based on numerous educational psychology studies and his own field experience, the author confirmed that negative study habits that develop once while studying can lead to lifelong bad study habits.
In other words, if a child's mind is filled with negative emotions toward studying, such as 'Studying is not fun and is just boring', 'Parents and teachers say the result is more important than the process', 'Making mistakes or errors is embarrassing', 'That's why I don't want to solve difficult problems', it will be difficult for them to find studying fun or show interest even with excellent study methods and study methods, and even classes from regular instructors will be useless for improving grades. This is another example of an obvious but easily overlooked study habit.
This kind of negative attitude toward studying can lead to children growing up as passive, fearful, and giving up when faced with a new challenge, when something seems difficult, or when they feel like they might make a mistake.
In other words, it hinders the child's self-directed learning throughout his or her life.
So, does this mean that these children's negative attitudes toward studying are impossible to correct? No.
The author says that correction is possible with just a little help from parents and teachers.
Why do negative study habits arise, and how can we transform them into positive ones? Solutions, study methods, and training methods are included in "Cultivate Your Child's Study Emotions First." Please take a look.
Growth Mindset VS.
fixed mindset
It's also important to understand what your child's mindset is.
Author Caroline von Sankt Anghe advises that before fostering a positive attitude toward studying in your child, you should start by identifying your child's mindset.
So what exactly is mindset? Mindset is a term that describes an individual's fundamental stance on self, things, life, and learning. Through numerous research findings, the author has discovered that mindset determines one's emotional state when studying.
Students who were given homework that was more difficult than their level showed two contrasting attitudes: a growth mindset, where they responded, “It’s difficult, but it’s fun,” and a fixed mindset, where they responded, “It’s difficult, so I can’t do it.”
The authors concluded that children with a growth mindset tend to try harder rather than avoid difficult tasks or poor results on tests, and to work harder until they succeed rather than simply accept failure.
In other words, a growth mindset plays an important role in providing the motivation needed to study, helping students carry out their studies, and instilling a positive study mindset in children.
So what if my child has a fixed mindset? Is there any way to correct their negative attitude toward studying? There's no need to worry.
Mindsets that have nothing to do with intelligence can be easily changed through practice.
If you follow the methods introduced by the author step by step with your child, your child's mindset will change, preconceived notions about studying will be shattered, and you will witness your child's transformation into a self-directed student based on a positive attitude toward studying.
However, since it is difficult to change a mindset once it has been set in stone, we ask that you correct it as quickly as possible, especially when the child is young.
The book summarizes the characteristics of a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, so I hope you will check your child's mindset as soon as possible.
“Don’t be discouraged if you’re not good at anything right now.”
For preschoolers, a positive attitude toward studying is more important than grades.
When we emphasize the importance of a growth mindset and a positive attitude toward studying, some parents might tilt their heads and respond that it would be better to spend that time memorizing one more math formula or one more English word.
Of course, there are many factors that affect the success of learning.
However, if a child, who is the subject of learning, does not have a growth mindset and a positive attitude toward studying, and if he or she does not move, act, and study on his or her own, the child's studies and grades will inevitably remain stagnant.
Therefore, the author says that for parents of children in preschool or early elementary school, it is important to guide their children to develop a positive study mindset and growth mindset as soon as possible, rather than being obsessed with grades or scores.
And he emphasizes that children should focus on developing and strengthening positive study habits through the learning prescription he introduces.
So, what standards and principles are included in the prescription for fostering and strengthening a positive study mindset? This book addresses the practical questions that parents often have, such as how to identify a child's innate learning style (visual, auditory, reading, kinesthetic), how to find an appropriate study method for each learning style, how to reverse a child's lack of motivation, how to choose a study space that suits their child's personality, how to study with a child who procrastinates, how to maintain learning motivation with adequate rest, how to boost a child's stray concentration, and how to save a child from the fear of making mistakes. Using real-life examples, this book provides detailed methods to overcome negative study mindsets and foster a positive study mindset.
Parents of school-age children, especially those just beginning to engage in contentious parenting, will find many valuable tips, so please take a close look at this miraculous solution.
“Life is a long journey, not a sprint.”
Why a Positive Study Mindset Shapes a Child's Life
Author Caroline von Sankt Anghe has long been trying to highlight how unproductive the educational reality that emphasizes only grades is.
What parents and teachers can do for their children is to raise them to be creative, critical thinkers, communicators, and proactive learners who are not afraid to face the unknown.
This is probably the goal that parents truly desire for their children's happiness more than anyone else, regardless of the reason.
If you only think about things like the college entrance exam and college entrance exams, studying might seem like a short marathon or race with a visible finish line.
However, as a true educator, the author's goal is to help children break free from the stereotype that tests are everything in life and guarantee success, to discover the joy of learning, and to enjoy the process of learning how to study itself.
It also provides a foundation for students to discover their limitless potential, believe in their potential for success, and take charge of their own lives after graduating from school.
There's only one reason the author emphasizes a growth mindset and positive study habits, moving away from learning methods that focus solely on proving grades or intelligence.
While it is important for children to get good grades now, it is more important for parents and teachers to establish a method for children to safely overcome the crises and difficulties they will face in life than any study method or learning method.
I hope this book will serve as a solid guide for all parents who wish to see their children grow up to be strong-minded, positive, and self-directed through a growth mindset.
Negative study habits hinder a child's academic progress throughout his or her life.
We often refer to the proverb, “Habits formed at age three last until age eighty” when referring to bad habits or wrong lifestyle habits.
However, based on numerous educational psychology studies and his own field experience, the author confirmed that negative study habits that develop once while studying can lead to lifelong bad study habits.
In other words, if a child's mind is filled with negative emotions toward studying, such as 'Studying is not fun and is just boring', 'Parents and teachers say the result is more important than the process', 'Making mistakes or errors is embarrassing', 'That's why I don't want to solve difficult problems', it will be difficult for them to find studying fun or show interest even with excellent study methods and study methods, and even classes from regular instructors will be useless for improving grades.

If you follow the methods introduced by the author step by step with your child, your child's mindset will change, preconceived notions about studying will be shattered, and you will witness your child's transformation into a self-directed student based on a positive attitude toward studying.
However, since it is difficult to change a mindset once it has been set in stone, we ask that you correct it as quickly as possible, especially when the child is young.
The book summarizes the characteristics of a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, so I hope you will check your child's mindset as soon as possible.
“Don’t be discouraged if you’re not good at anything right now.”
For preschoolers, a positive attitude toward studying is more important than grades.
When we emphasize the importance of a growth mindset and a positive attitude toward studying, some parents might tilt their heads and respond that it would be better to spend that time memorizing one more math formula or one more English word.
Of course, there are many factors that affect the success of learning.
However, if a child, who is the subject of learning, does not have a growth mindset and a positive attitude toward studying, and if he or she does not move, act, and study on his or her own, the child's studies and grades will inevitably remain stagnant.
Therefore, the author says that for parents of children in preschool or early elementary school, it is important to guide their children to develop a positive study mindset and growth mindset as soon as possible, rather than being obsessed with grades or scores.
And he emphasizes that children should focus on developing and strengthening positive study habits through the learning prescription he introduces.
So, what standards and principles are included in the prescription for fostering and strengthening a positive study mindset? This book addresses the practical questions that parents often have, such as how to identify a child's innate learning style (visual, auditory, reading, kinesthetic), how to find an appropriate study method for each learning style, how to reverse a child's lack of motivation, how to choose a study space that suits their child's personality, how to study with a child who procrastinates, how to maintain learning motivation with adequate rest, how to boost a child's stray concentration, and how to save a child from the fear of making mistakes. Using real-life examples, this book provides detailed methods to overcome negative study mindsets and foster a positive study mindset.
Parents of school-age children, especially those just beginning to engage in contentious parenting, will find many valuable tips, so please take a close look at this miraculous solution.
“Life is a long journey, not a sprint.”
Why a Positive Study Mindset Shapes a Child's Life
Author Caroline von Sankt Anghe has long been trying to highlight how unproductive the educational reality that emphasizes only grades is.
What parents and teachers can do for their children is to raise them to be creative, critical thinkers, communicators, and proactive learners who are not afraid to face the unknown.
This is probably the goal that parents truly desire for their children's happiness more than anyone else, regardless of the reason.
If you only think about things like the college entrance exam and college entrance exams, studying might seem like a short marathon or race with a visible finish line.
However, as a true educator, the author's goal is to help children break free from the stereotype that tests are everything in life and guarantee success, to discover the joy of learning, and to enjoy the process of learning how to study itself.
It also provides a foundation for students to discover their limitless potential, believe in their potential for success, and take charge of their own lives after graduating from school.
There's only one reason the author emphasizes a growth mindset and positive study habits, moving away from learning methods that focus solely on proving grades or intelligence.
While it is important for children to get good grades now, it is more important for parents and teachers to establish a method for children to safely overcome the crises and difficulties they will face in life than any study method or learning method.
I hope this book will serve as a solid guide for all parents who wish to see their children grow up to be strong-minded, positive, and self-directed through a growth mindset.
