Dweck explains why it is not only our skills and talents that bring us success, but if we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. It clarifies the reason to praise the intelligence and the ability not to promote self-esteem and bring to completion, but it can actually affect the success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our children and help them increase their grades, as well as achieve our personal and professional goals.
