I've been reading a lot about the growth mindset lately. Struggling is how we learn. Thinking of the brain as a muscle helps people learn. And yet I think back to when I was learning German, and how stressful it was to be constantly struggling and failing. I did make a lot of progress, but it was very emotionally taxing. What I'm saying is that the growth mindset isn't a cureall. Some people will still struggle and fail even if they have the perfect growth mindset.
