What is the secret to raising smart kids? Don’t them that they are. Carol S. Dwek reviews 30 years of research that shows emphasizing effort, not intelligence or talent, is the key to developing high achievers in school and in life. This sees the world populated by two types of learners: those who view intelligence as a fixed trait, and those who think intelligence is malleable and can be developed through education and hard work. If you fall into the latter group, then setbacks stem from a lack of effort, not ability, and can be remedied by more effort.
