Clarifying the relationship between parents’ failure mindsets and children’s fixed mindsets is important for shaping children’s mindsets. In the present study, 3680 fifth-grade children and their parents were surveyed to explore the relationship between the congruence and discrepancy of parents’ failure mindsets and children’s fixed mindsets. Results showed that: 1) The congruence of parents’ failure mindsets had a significant impact on children’s fixed mindsets. When parents’ failure mindsets reached congruence, parents’ failure-is-debilitating mindsets were positively related to children’s fixed mindsets. 2) Direction of the discrepancy of parents’ failure mindsets had a significant impact on children’s fixed mindsets. Children’s fixed mindsets were higher when fathers’ failure-is-debilitating mindsets were higher than mothers. The study reveals the negative impact of parents’ failure-is-debilitating mindsets on children’s fixed mindsets, highlighting the important role of fathers in shaping children’s fixed mindsets.
