[quote=Anonymous]I just remind my son that the brain is like a muscle and he has to keep using it to make it strong. He is smart, but what is more important is using his brain to think and challenging it. We also talk about how some of the best learning and inventions come from mistakes. Kids who are told they are smart often start getting worried about making mistakes. So you want to make sure ypur child knows that mistakes are ok and even a god thing. [/quote]
