I recently came across two items that I found very interesting. The first is an article from Scientific American Mind entitled, The Secret of Raising Smart Children.
Hint: Don't tell your kids that they are. More than three decades of research shows that a focus on effort—not on intelligence or ability—is key to success in school and in life
The article is well worth reading and is supplemented by this engrossing 10 minute video from the famous TED talks, 5 dangerous things you should let your kids do.
Hint: Allowing kids the freedom to explore will make them stronger and smarter and actually safer.
