I was reading a book recommended by our 6th grade science teacher Nick Davis. Nurtureshock is a book about children- how we raise them and how we make mistakes that seem to be the opposite of what we intended; like praising children. The first chapter is about the research of Carol Dweck on praise. She discovered that praising gifted kids about their intelligence had a negative effect and her work has been a hot topic: "Carol Dweck is a flat-out genius. I hope the work is taken seriously. It scares people when they see these results.”
Here is a link to the article:HOW NOT TO TALK TO YOUR KIDS
Let me know what you think...
