Parenting - Hard work vs you're smart, praising your child - Minti: "Children praised for their natural abilities were not so resilient. Their motivation and performance suffered after their 'failure,' and they tended to inflate their scores when reporting them to others. Ultimately, they began to measure their worth by their test results, believes Dweck.
'The kind of praise that all of society thinks is wonderful is the kind of praise that makes kids very vulnerable,' she says. 'Parents need to focus on what children put into a task, rather than making implications about the worth of the child.'"
