- So, wait a minute here... let me get this straight... you mean ENCOURAGING your children instead of telling them they're brainless and worthless will help them reach their potential? Really?! Surely, you jest! ;) (We needed Scientific American to tell us this?!)

- From the page: "The Secret to Raising Smart Kids Hint: Don't tell your kids that they are. More than three decades of research shows that a focus on effort not on intelligence or ability is key to success in school and in life" I saw something similar to this before: How Not to Talk to Your Kids Both of which I found via the always excellent pseudonym

- From the page: Teaching people to have a "growth mind-set," which encourages a focus on effort rather than on intelligence or talent, produces high achievers in school and in life.

- From the page: " ** Many people assume that superior intelligence or ability is a key to success. But more than three decades of research shows that an overemphasis on intellect or talent--and the implication that such traits are innate and fixed--leaves people vulnerable to failure, fearful of challenges and unmotivated to learn. ** Teaching people to have a "growth mind-set," which encourages a focus on effort rather than on intelligence or talent, produces high achievers in school and in life. ** Parents and teachers can engender a growth mind-set in children by praising them for their effort or persistence (rather than for their intelligence), by telling success stories that emphasize hard work and love of learning, and by teaching them about the brain as a learning machine."
