Growth Mindset of my 8-Years Old

Tonight, I explained the theory of relativity and quantum entanglement to my daughter. She didn’t blink once but she listened the same way she watches her favorite cartoon. When she understood, she smiled, got excited, and immediately started arguing about time travel based on what we had just discussed. She wanted to become physic scientist since she was 7.

Then she said, “Dad, we learned about growth mindset at school, and I want to have growth mindset not fixed mindset. I can share something of my own as well. I think the mind is like a muscle—you can work on it and make it grow.”

I replied, “Can I call you a wise girl from now on?”

She laughed, inside and out, and kissed me.
