1/3 NEETs don't come from nowhere.
Their struggles with mental health start from a young age.
That's why it's important now to talk about having a growth mindset explicitly, especially at a young age, so students can develop their thinking skills to counteract challenges.
2/3 Carol Dweck, an American psychologist, says that your view of yourself determines everything.
If operating through a fixed mindset, students believed all their abilities are fixed traits. However, with a growth mindset, they can be transformed.
4/4 School is perfect for talking about this, especially with friends. Staying in school gives you a familiar routine and allows you to focus your attention on thinking and developing.
As a NEET, you are part of the solution to this crisis, and vital to its turning around๐.

3/4 For year 6's, secondary is a huge jump. But a growth mindset can provide you with a bridge to cross it.
Because COVID stripped some of the thinking skills and learning abilities away from these children, they are in need of some extra guidance when taking this next step.
