In “The Difference Between Coddling and ‘Safe Spaces,'” the author, Roth, tries to promote a growth mindset on campuses. “Like families, campus cultures are different, but all should promote a basic sense of inclusion and respect that enables students to learn and grow – to be open to ideas and perspectives so that the differences they encounter are educational.” He calls this a feeling of “safe enough.” This feeling allows students to avoid being coddled and grow into adults. He shows how it is okay to have a safe space for students, but how the space shouldn’t be too safe and should not coddle students. Dweck wants students to understand that “abilities can be developed.” By having a growth mindset, students open themselves up to more things around them and are more likely to succeed and excel in what they do. I liked these two quotes from the readings because I think they perfectly explain what each reading is about. The second part of quote from Roth’s reading is essentially Dweck’s definition of a growth mindset. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
