Imagine that your child experiences a big failure at school. What is your first thought?

Select an answer:

Failures are a part of learning, I will help him understand that. Maybe it needs a different approach, we will look for a solution together. I must protect him from another failure; perhaps this is not the right path for him. He probably feels very bad, the most important thing is to calm him down. If he tries harder, he will definitely succeed next time.

Your child comes to you with a question you don't know the answer to. How will you respond?

Select an answer:

We will find the answer together, we can search in books or on the internet. I admit that I don't know, and I encourage him to think about it himself. I'll try to come up with something so I won't be left in embarrassment. I will tell him that he will find out when he is older, not everything has to be known right away. I suggest asking someone else who might know more.

How would you describe a successful child?

Select an answer:

A child that never gives up and learns from mistakes. A child who has a natural talent and always achieves good results. A child who isn't afraid to try new things, even when they don't succeed right away. A child who believes in themselves and does not need external motivation. A child who can convince others of their truth.

What environment do you think would most support a growth mindset in a child?

Select an answer:

A place where one can freely explore and make mistakes. A structured system that leads him to good results. Stimulating environment full of challenges and unexpected situations. A safe and predictable environment without unnecessary pressure. A company of inspirational people from whom one can learn.

Your child thinks that they will never succeed at something. What do you tell them?

Select an answer:

"Everyone started from scratch; what's important is to keep trying." "If you focus and try hard enough, you will manage it." "Not everyone is good at everything; perhaps it is better to focus on what you excel at." "If you believe it, you are right. If you don't believe it, you are also right." "Maybe it just needs more time and a different approach."

How do you react when your child makes mistakes?

Select an answer:

I will encourage him to learn from them and try again. I will point out the mistakes and explain to him how to avoid them next time. I will let him handle it on his own so that he learns to be independent. I will support him, but at the same time, I will help him find an easier way. Mistakes are normal; what matters is not to get discouraged.

If you could give a child only one piece of advice for life, what would it be?

Select an answer:

"Always ask and seek answers." "Failure is part of growth, don't stop because of it." Believe in yourself and follow your own path. "Hard work always brings results." "Surround yourself with people who support and inspire you."

What is more important to you: intelligence or perseverance?

Select an answer:

Perseverance - without it, even talent means nothing. Intelligence – opens the doors to success. The balance between the two, as they are interconnected. It depends on how it is used – the abilities alone are not enough. It is more important to know how to adapt to the situation.

The child claims that they don't enjoy learning. How will you respond to that?

Select an answer:

"Maybe you haven't found a way that you enjoy yet. Let's try to discover it together." "Learning is not always fun, but it can open up many opportunities for you." "Each of us has things that we don’t enjoy – but some are important for life." "You may be learning something that doesn't suit you. Maybe it's time to find another method." "Learning is an adventure – you just need to perceive it differently."

How do you support creativity and curiosity in a child?

Select an answer:

I give him space to experiment and explore new things. I ask him questions that make him think differently. I provide him access to inspirational books, games, and activities. I let him solve problems independently to develop his own thinking. I lead him to see the world as an infinite possibility for exploration.
