Mindset: Raising Your IQ Through The Power Of Speech - Or How To Completely Ruin Your Children

in etymology •  8 years ago 

I think most parents have a fixed mindset for any school work. They focus on the fact that the kid needs to have good grades so he could get in to a better school or get a better job. Rarely parents actually care what their kid has learned instead they just take a glance at the grades and think they know what's going on.

Exactly, as parents; and I have been guilty of this in the past, we tend to focus on the result, rather than the process.

I have fixed this now; and when my daughter tells me she got stuff wrong at school, I say; "Excellent! That means you are learning new stuff!" We then go on to talk about the challenges she's facing, and how we can work towards mitigating them.
