[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever met someone who doesn’t think they’re smart? I never have. [/quote] My mother. My brother and I were academically advanced at a young age which was very different from her experience. She thinks she is not smart enough to understand what we do in our careers, which is ridiculous because she absolutely is. But that is her self-image and it is difficult for me as her daughter to convince her otherwise. We emphasize curiosity, critical thinking, and self-improvement with our kids as well as effort over outcome. We do this for academics, arts, athletics and any of their other interests. [/quote]
