If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning.

Praising children’s intelligence harms their motivation and it harms their performance.
Carol S. Dweck
This point is . . . crucial,” writes Dweck. “In the fixed mindset, everything is about the outcome. If you fail — or if you’re not the best — it’s all been wasted. The growth mindset allows people to value what they’re doing regardless of the outcome.
Carol S. Dweck
You’re in charge of your mind. You can help it grow by using it in the right way.
