I thought the latest was to praise effort, not achievements. Praising achievements might induce self-consciousness and make kids not try very hard.

- svdad 15y agoYes. And the latest, well supported by research -- see Carol Dweck, Mindset.
- tnorthcutt 15y agoMy achievement (rather than effort) was praised. I certainly wish it had been the other way around - I think that would have led to much better work habits, willingness to push through tedious/boring work, etc.
