[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should have her point out what other kids at school are good at - and not just academically. Also you might be doing her a disservice by focusing on her "brilliance." We don't mention intelligence to our children, even though they're smart, because we want to foster a growth mindset.[/quote] Thank you and the other posters for all the good ideas. [/quote] “growth mindset” is a debunked pop psychological notion. not sure what this attitude is that you should for some reason hide your child’s aptitudes from them. adults thrive by knowing what they are good at - weird that we would think kids should be kept in the dark about it.
