The Secret to Raising Smart Kids - Scientific American Mind

Terrific Terrific Fantastic (need I go on with the adjectives of admiration?) Ok, one more, GREAT article in Scientific American Mind by Carol S. Dweck about - well, the title is self explanatory - The Secret to Raising Smart Kids . It's a somewhat long article but it's packed full of information, some tips and some additional reading.

Much of what they say goes along with many of the tenets of the coaching and teaching that I've done and the programs I've developed. It's terrific stuff. Read it and pass it on to anyone interested in raising smarter children (of all ages), or encouraging children who seem to be having a difficult time. There are ways to change and it's never too late to change. Never. Never too late to change.

You know I can't thank you enough for sharing these sources and articles. I would NEVEr even hear about this stuff, but your explanation makes it interesting!

I second that! Thanks - these are really helpful and I simply wouldn't find them on my own. I hate that I feel so pressured though. My kids are years away from college, high school even and I feel so pressured from all sides for them to succeed that I'm afraid I'm pushing them too hard.
