You still might be, unintentionally. This "praising kids for effort" is based on "mindset" research by Carol Dweck. Her Wikipedia page highlights a few criticisms of her work, in particular that the research isn't replicable and the interventions (in schools) don't produce results.
- watwut 7y agoAnecdotally, it worked on my kids to ridiculous degree. Complimenting them meant that they will do the thing more and more and get better in the process. Outright telling them that "you like this" made them like the thing. Opposite made them dislike it. Including food and activities.
