Your kids excel in a lot of things – including the art of giving up…
They’re smart. They’re talented. They work hard – at least, when they want to.
But (and it’s a big one) – They fear failure. They balk at obstacles. They take mistakes personally.
It’s heartbreaking to watch.
✔︎
You’ve been a cheerleader: “Don’t give up, kiddo. You can do this! I know you can!”
✔︎
You’ve kept evidence of their hard work: “Why don’t we go take a look at some of your old artwork, bud? Let’s see how far you’ve come.”
✔︎
You’ve read about growth mindset and looked at secular resources: “I don’t know, honey. I glanced through that book and it just feels like something’s missing.”
But it hasn’t been working, and both you and your kids face heartache, anger, and frustration:
with schoolwork, with extracurriculars, with their talents, gifts, and strengths.
If only your children could see themselves as God made them: unique, unrepeatable, and capable of achieving God’s will for their lives.
INTRODUCING
Made for Greatness
Made for Greatness is a Growth Mindset Journal from a Catholic perspective unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
A peek inside:
01
First, readers get a clear introduction: I introduce growth mindset alongside the Cardinal and Theological virtues, explaining how the two go hand-in-hand
02
Then, each chapter focuses on a specific virtue and its growth mindset principle: Readers encounter an explanation of the virtue/principle connection before reading about the life of a corresponding saint.
03
Discussion starters and activities help readers apply the virtues to their own choices and experiences
04
Prayer and Scripture readings encourage further growth
05
Profiles of contemporary, virtuous Catholic youth provide real-life application; a Step-by-step guide helps readers develop a virtue-based growth mindset plan
06
Resource pages offer tips for parents, as well as game-changing, concrete strategies for kids
Your kids weren’t made for comfort – they were Made for Greatness.
This book will help them learn that about themselves.
Hey, friend. I’m Ginny – and I wanted the same thing as you.
No more tears.
No more, “I’m awful at this, mom. Why are you making me do it?”
No more anxiety, fear of failure, or self-hatred.
No paralyzing inability to try.
I started reading up on growth mindset, a habit of seeing obstacles as an opportunity for growth. But the more I looked, the more I discovered the mainstream options were steeped in secular humanism.
As a Catholic mom concerned with her children’s salvation, I found the focus on ambition, the insistence on self-reliance, and the selection of role models problematic, at best. I wanted my children to grow in confidence and virtue.
I wanted them to develop a growth mindset and see challenge as opportunity, but I wanted the focus on the power of redemptive suffering and the fullness of the Truth.
What others are saying
Still not sure? Here’s why a Catholic growth mindset blows secular trends out of the water:
A secular growth mindset teaches kids they can do anything.
A Catholic growth mindset teaches kids they can do anything through Christ.
A secular growth mindset is rooted in personal achievement.
A Catholic growth mindset is rooted in redemptive suffering.
A secular growth mindset encourages children to grow in ability.
A Catholic growth mindset encourages children to become the person God designed.
Your kids deserve the Truth of Catholic teaching.
