insanely early. but as a gifted kid, you can definitely tell them they are smart in moderation. but for me, i was overpraised by the school and now i’m burnt out

I tell my kiddos that they're smart but I tell them everyone is smart too, just in their own ways. that we can always learn something new from the people and things around us. that being smart isn't

I was definitely over praised for being a “easy/good child” it made me feel like I couldn’t come out and say I was having a hard time because I didn’t want to be perceived as difficult.

In general most compliments should focus on achievement and effort rather than innate factors (being smart or pretty)

This is SO true. Being told constantly how ‘smart’ I was, was such a burden and I felt like a huge disappointment every time I couldn’t get something

“You can do hard things” is our favorite sentence in the house. And the first time he got frustrated and said “I can do hard things” was such a beautiful moment 🥺

the smart thing is definitely true. I never ever struggled in high-school and got all As so when I got to college and majored in Biology and couldn't get All As, I felt stupid.

This is so true. We used to tell my son he was smart and he didn’t try. I started saying look how hard you work and praising his effort. Huge change

Idk about this. My dad always told me I was so smart and it gave me so much confidence that I could always figure things out. I think it depends a lot on the individual child.

This is huge. I specifically remember when I was a kid and messing up in a dance recital and did really bad. my parents praised me for how good I did. I never trust people when they compliment me now

everyone used to tell me how smart I was like that was the ONE adjetive they'd use to describe me. Then I grew up and realized I wasn't, not really. Now i have a fear of failure 👍🏻

I will say i bawled my eyes out in 2nd grade when i got a C on my report card because i thought i was so smart i was so sad and embarrassed that i wasn’t actually smart

Happened to me. As a gifted kid I was told that all the time. Now I still struggle with getting angry at myself when I can’t figure something out within a certain time frame.

Not taking this advice because I remember things as a child and telling me I’m smart was the motivation

THIS. My whole elementary & middle school life, I was told I was super smart. When the mechanics/ type of learning changed in higher levels, I felt like a disappointment when I started to struggle.

YES!!! Having a smart kid and treating them like they’re so smart can be harmful. Smart kids get used to being so smart that hard things for other kids are easy for them so when it comes time to work

Why do ppl like to generalize like this😕 “Never tell them they’re smart”….this is such rubbish. Parenting is a continuous thing. U can tell ur kid they’re smart AND ALSO that they won’t—>
