[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently read something that struck me at the time and stayed with me, and I'm curious for others' take on it. Essentially, it was pointing out that while we consider it totally acceptable and nonjudgmental to say "oh Larla isn't terribly athletic" or "Larlo isn't a very musical kid," it comes off as incredibly unkind to say that a child -- yours or someone else's -- isn't very smart. And yet of course there are a lot of people in the world who aren't very smart, and they're not less valuable as human beings than smart people. Do you think it's a good goal, as parents or just as fellow people, to unlearn our notion that intelligence somehow equates to worth? How would you approach it?[/quote] Do you have a link to what you read? [/quote]
