Hi there! Today we will learn how to set goals and use courage to beat hard challenges.
When you design or build something, you will hit roadblocks. That is normal! A big goal helps you stay on track.
A growth mindset means you know your brain can grow. If you make a mistake, you do not give up. You try a new way.
Courage and confidence are like muscles. You build them by trying hard things, even when you feel a little scared of failing.
✏️ Worked example
Leo wants to build a toy car out of cardboard. The wheels keep falling off. Let us walk through how Leo can solve this challenge using goal setting and courage.
- Leo sets a clear goal: 'I want to make my toy car roll three feet without losing its wheels.'
- Leo shows courage by not stopping when the wheels fall off the first time.
- Leo stays confident. He tells himself, 'I can learn how to fix this.'
- Leo looks at his design. He sees the tape is too weak. He decides to use glue instead.
- Leo tests his new design. The car rolls perfectly! He solved his challenge by staying calm and trying a new way.
