A person's success depends on his way of thinking. The mode of thinking can be roughly divided into two categories, one is growth thinking, and the other is fixed thinking.
The difference between the two is that the former believes that his ability can be improved through efforts; The latter believes that their intelligence and ability are quantitative and will not change. Children with growth-oriented thinking are not easy to give up and enjoy the process more.
Therefore, if parents only praise their children's intelligence, they will make them think that their abilities are only related to those quantitative talents, which is not conducive to the cultivation of children's growth thinking.
This article has collected 15 kinds of correct ways to praise children. If parents use them skillfully, children will make continuous progress.
