You can say your smart in different ways and that’s okay, some people are academic and others are smart physically 🙌🏻

For me it was hearing my parents constantly praising my brother for succeeding without efforts that crushed me bc no matter how hard I worked I was never good or as good🥺

Agree. I was always told I was “smart”. It made me proud of my ability to succeed effortlessly, whereas I’d be ashamed of ever needing to actually work hard, ask for help etc. it stunts your growth.

Tell them ‘you work hard’ so if the fail at something, they’ll know for sure they’re not smart.

I feel like at this point people are just making things up to say because all the good ideas/theories have already been taken 😂

Disagree! I call my 7 yr old son a genius, which is true. BUT he also understands that when he gets something incorrectly, he just discovers something that doesn't work.

Never tell them they work hard, if you do, they’ll grow up to be hard working earning the same amount as their lazy coworkers.

I tell my kid he is smart, but I also tell him that being smart doesn’t he will automatically know something or be good at something. He still has to study and train.

So then you raise a hustle mentality kid who will get his identity from “working hard”

I strongly disagree. My parents never informed me, and I always felt inadequate. I make sure to remind my children that their hard work and intelligence have been worthwhile. They are content.

My dad told me “you’re so pretty”. My inner voice began to tell myself “I’m pretty”….Not that “I work hard to be pretty”.

Telling them they’re smart makes them thirsty for attention so they work on something to prove themselves they are smart more often
