@njapoet: Instead of giving children, confidence, when they are praised for their intelligence, it often makes them fragile and puts them into a fixed mindset. "Children praised for their intelligence lost their confidence as soon as the problems got more difficult. However, children who were praised for their effort "maintained their confidence, their motivation, and their performance."
