@the.family.coach: We all want our kids to excel. Be happy. To be excellent in what they set their mind to. To feel confident. To have good self-esteem. To have a growth mindset. Research helps us to learn how to best do that. A Parent’s words are powerful. Let’s use our words wisely. If you want more expert parenting tips, or if you are struggling with a very challenging child, reach out to me. I can help. #parenting #growthmindset #grit
My mom told me I was smart once, and I never got into Harvard because of it.

Disagree. If they are smart, you can absolutely acknowledge it. What they do with that is what matters.

I have always praised my son for being smart and I see the effect. How can this be undone?

This isn't smart. How about tell them they're smart AND smart people fail sometimes. Success is a series of failures

Or by telling them they’re smart, you can give them self confidence to push through the self doubt.

Or you can tell them they’re smart and it’s a positive affirmation to boost their confidence. Trying new things needs to be a fun guided experience

This is why dad never called me smart? Why he never hugged me? Told me he loved me? He really DID care. Guess I have to get him out of the home now.

Tell them they’re smart and when they do well on something you remind them how hard they worked. It’s not one or the other

Personal parenting experience tells me, it’s a balancing act. Working hard matters! But so does working smart. Parenting is hard.

So what do we tell them when they are actually being smart/intelligent? Like idk but for me it just goes automatic or by default.

I hand them responsibility, see what happens, then praise or coach.

Tell your kids whatever you think is best. You’re going to mess them up no matter what because you’re messed up because your parents are messed up.
