Praise children for working hard, not for being smart - Richmond Parenting & Education | Examiner.com: "Success in school is most often attributed to having a good work ethic. Successful students attend school regularly, arrive on time, have a positive attitude, work well in teams, are organized, demonstrate respect, and try really hard to “get the job done.” They understand that their effort pays off.
When parents and teachers praise children by saying they are smart, the message they send is that it does not matter how hard to you work at it, you are successful because you are smart."
