How does this help fuel a ‘growth mindset’?
Spid questions legends and learns through investigation. This demonstrates the power of learning through inquiry and exploration. He also learns how clear-headed (rational thinking), helps negotiate a win-win situation which both reduce animosity, and build relationships.
