The inverse power of praise — how to talk to your children

This was an interesting article on motivating your child.

I know there are some things I don't tackle. It's easier to stick with what we know we are good at. OTOH, life is boring if we are afraid to branch out.

Of those praised for their effort, 90 percent chose the harder set of puzzles. Of those praised for their intelligence, a majority chose the easy test. The “smart” kids took the cop-out.

How VERY interesting!! Logical but one doesn’t think of it that way when talking. Right?
