[quote=Anonymous] Tell them the truth: research has demonstrated clearly that telling children they are smart is deleterious both to their efforts and achievements. Praising children for their hard work has the effect of pushing them to work harder and achieve more. I think it was a research study out of Stanford by Carol Dweck. I got a lot of the "smart but lazy" comments - turns out I have ADD. DS has more severe ADD, thank goodness this syndrome is better known now and his public school knows how to deal with it without accusing him of being lazy. So nip this in the bud, OP. [/quote]
