In this episode of the Where Parents Talk podcast, host Lianne Castelino speaks to Annie Brock and Heather Hundley—seasoned educators and co-authors of the newly revised The Growth Mindset Coach.

The conversation explores how this simple yet transformative approach can reshape parenting, teaching, and the way children see themselves.

They reveal practical ways parents can nurture growth at home: celebrating effort over outcomes, modelling curiosity, encouraging independence, and turning mistakes into learning opportunities.

The conversation also dives into some of the most pressing challenges families face today, from managing device use and navigating social media to talking with tweens and teens about consent, healthy relationships, and emotional well-being.

Brock and Hundley highlight how a growth mindset doesn’t just build resilience in kids—it strengthens family bonds, reduces bullying, and equips children with the confidence to face adolescence and beyond with clarity and hope.

Takeaways:

  • Open, honest communication helps parents guide their children through the hormonal and emotional changes of adolescence with consistency and care.
  • Encouraging independence means teaching kids to manage devices responsibly and approach consent and relationships with respect.
  • Fostering a growth mindset can reduce bullying, strengthen resilience, and support the emotional and mental well-being of tweens and teens.
  • Parents who model healthy lifestyle habits provide a powerful foundation for their children’s overall well-being during challenging developmental years.
  • Healthy use of technology requires parents to guide children in responsible social media use and help them recognize misinformation.
  • Celebrating effort, progress, and small wins boosts children’s confidence, motivation, and love of learning.
