提高智力小细节

 

Praise good effort, not intelligence

 

鼓励孩子多尝试，不要只注重结果

 

Your kids may be smart, but you should focus your praise on the effort they put into succeeding at tasks.

 

Kids who are praised on intelligence often feel it is a fixed¹ trait, and mistakes or failures severely² hurt their self-confidence.

 

Kids who are praised on effort often focus more on learning, and are not afraid of a challenge, or to fail and try again.　

 

1 fixed   

adj.固定的，不变的，准备好的；(计算机)固定的

参考例句：

• Have you two fixed on a date for the wedding yet?你们俩选定婚期了吗？
• Once the aim is fixed,we should not change it arbitrarily.目标一旦确定，我们就不应该随意改变。

2 severely   

adv.严格地；严厉地；非常恶劣地

参考例句：

• He was severely criticized and removed from his post.他受到了严厉的批评并且被撤了职。
• He is severely put down for his careless work.他因工作上的粗心大意而受到了严厉的批评。
