Investigating Praise

The video discusses the impact of different types of praise on children's mindsets. It highlights how praising intelligence can lead to a fixed mindset, making children less resilient and more likely to avoid challenges. In contrast, process praise, which focuses on effort and strategies, fosters a growth mindset, encouraging children to embrace challenges and learn from mistakes. Research studies are cited to support these findings, showing that children praised for their process tend to be more confident and perform better over time.
