Giving Good Praise to Girls

MindShift KQED has an informative article about girls getting the message that they are either good at math or not. I know I believe I’m not great at math. Because of this belief, I never pushed myself to become better at math. My daughter sent me this article link and said, “I’m glad I’m good at math.” We need to teach girls to persist through difficulties.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much room for failure, then learning from this failure in our educational system . I invite you to read this article and let me know what you think.

Terms of Use: The articles in my blog are a matter of my opinion and perspective, offered to help stimulate parents' thinking about their child raising and common concerns, conflicts, and changes that typically occur. They are meant to be educational only. Because they are general in nature, they should NOT be used as a substitute for getting qualified professional psychological, medical, or legal help should serious need arise. The resources I recommend are mostly consistent with my parenting approach. Use them at your own discretion as you would my articles. The parents’ success stories are particular to their family situation. This does not mean that you would get the same results. They are to be used for inspiration that by you changing first, you have the greatest chance of creating a positive change in your family.

Would love your thoughts, please comment.x
