NOTE FOR PARENTS:

Research shows that the way we praise our children affect their mindset. Praising kids for
working hard promotes a ​growth mindset​.

SAY THIS NOT THAT

“I can see you worked so hard on this!” “You’re so smart!”

Say this because ​ it helps your children Do not say this because ​it makes them think
understand that you value their effort. of intelligence as a fixed quality (you’re
either smart or you’re not smart)
