[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just switch it around to “he works hard” whenever he hears that he’s smart. Don’t compliment the outcome, compliment the method of getting there. If he reads well and the teacher says he’s smart, say something like, he’s been practicing really hard since he was in preschool. It’s not contradicting the compliment, but showing that there was effort involved. He’ll hear that your praising him and his work ethic. [/quote] oh this is a great suggestion - thanks! [/quote] but does he work hard? [/quote]
