RE: Mindset: Raising Your IQ Through The Power Of Speech - Or How To Completely Ruin Your Children
I agree we should be very careful about what we say to our children. My father didn't say encouraging things until l was a adult. I had to get a growth mindset much later in life because of it.
Perhaps he was vaguely aware of the perils of praising ability over effort, however didn't realise that effort praising was the way to go.
I'm glad that you did finally develop a growth-mindset; don't forget that part of that, is to keep working on it! :-)
