"In children, this mental strength needs to be nurtured from an early age. The process also requires active involvement from parents, consistency, and discipline."

Audrey Susanto is a professional child psychologist, revealing important steps that parents take to shape mentally strong children. The most fundamental thing is to instill a growth mindset.

"One important skill that children need to have in order to have strong mental strength is the ability to have a growth mindset, which means having a developing mindset. A growth mindset tends to make children see that there are still other ways to develop."

"He explained that it is important to instill in children that when they try and fail, it is not the end. Many things can happen in the future."

"So, children don't easily give up when facing challenges. It is different from a fixed mindset that tends to make children think that something that happens cannot be changed back and it is already like this," said Audrey.

He exemplifies a fixed mindset, "Oh, why do I keep failing? Maybe I'm just not talented." Meanwhile, the growth mindset, on the other hand, says, "It's normal for me to struggle with this task because I am still learning."

"How to Develop a Growth Mindset"

"To develop this growth mindset, parents need to be open-minded by allowing their children to fail and acknowledging it. If a child is in a difficult and challenging situation, they can try asking curiosity questions."

"So instead of immediately rushing to help, the mother gives the child a chance to think about how to solve their own problems," said Audrey.

For example, when a child brings water and spills it, don't immediately take a cloth and clean it. Ask the child, "if the water spills, how should we clean it up?".

"Also give appreciation if the child has tried to find solutions when facing difficulties, even if the results are not effective and satisfying. 'By focusing on the child's effort and process, we become more concerned about the effort that the child has made. The effort that the child makes is more within their control than the results obtained,' Audrey said. Source: IG Audrey Susanto"
