Mindset is such a great book. It seems counterintuitive not to tell you’re kids that they’re ‘smart’ or ‘intelligent’ but this can definitely start a fixed mindset of where if you aren’t ‘great’ at something you’d rather give up than look bad. I’ve definitely suffered from this. I find that trying to detach the emotion from the result can help. We are not our results. They are separate from us. Being more business like about exams and seeing them as a project to work on, rather than a definition of our worth really helps me. P.S. I haven’t read Originals but I’ll put it on my list.
