In Teachers, Parents Often Misuse Growth Mindset Research , Carol Dweck Says (Carol Dweck) they explain the troubles that can come from parents praising there child in the case of them having a fixed mindset. It shows that in some cases if your telling your child how smart they are it may make them feel less than when they uncover a challenge at completing a certain task they may feel stupid. In The Perils of "Growth Mindset Education" [...] (Alfie Kohn) it shows theories that suggest a growth mindset may be more helpful because it shows kids to take on challenges and learn rather then just feel superior because they were born with more intelligence.
The differences between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset is the idea of a growth mindset suggest you can accumulate intelligence through work and effort compared to a fixed mindset which believes certain people are born smarter than others. I believe that I just recently started developing more of a growth mindset because I have been learning that I can better my intelligence and all around life with just more work and effort. Where as before especially in my teenage years I felt like I had more of a fixed mindset and just told myself I was dealt a bad hand and that’s why I would not do well in school and tell myself I couldn’t do things. Which in my opinion is know way to live because I feel like no matter what you been through or where you came from you are in control of your intelligence in certain situations I feel some people may have it a little bit harder but that doesn’t mean that they cant overcome the challenges and be just as smart as someone who was born with more intelligence.
