Study Notes
- When it comes to school, parents should help their children to focus on improving their abilities, rather than on proving them.
- Children who adopt a growth mindset are less stressed than peers who believe their capacities are fixed.
- When students succeed, parents should say "Your hard work and persistence really paid off. Well done!" and when they struggle, say "That test grade reflects what you knew about the material being tested on the day you took the test. It does not tell us how far you can go in that subject. Stick with it and keep asking questions. It will come."
This quiz focuses on methods for encouraging a growth mindset in children, emphasizing the importance of effort and persistence over innate abilities. It also covers the impact of parental encouragement on stress levels and performance in school.
