@drsarahrav: A small change for a HUGE improvement! 📈🏆✅ - By celebrating effort, not just results, you can help your child with a very powerful mindset shift 🤝🏼 Many kids are used to being praised for being naturally good at things. However, when something gets hard, they panic or check out, because they may feel like they are letting you down. If they’ve always been told “you’re so smart,” they might associated struggling with failure 😞 Conversely, if you start praising their effort, they’ll start to believe that “trying hard and putting effort into things is how I grow. Even if I’m not amazing straight away, applying myself is something I CAN control and should be proud of”. This will lead them to develop a growth mindset, and take more accountability for their own learning. 👏🏽👏🏽 How to Do It in Practice ⬇️ Instead of: ❌ “You’re so smart!” ❌ “You got an A, awesome!” Try: ✅ “I saw how hard you studied for this test, no matter what you get, I’m still proud of you for doing your best” ✅ “It’s incredible how you really stuck with that even when it got tough” ✅ “I love how you broke that problem into steps” - #parentingtips #gentleparenting #smartkids #parentsoftiktok #momtok #academicsupport
