“Kids who are recognized for their intelligence (‘your’e so smart!’) tend to give up when things are difficult or challenging to them. Kids who are recognized for their ‘work ethic’ (‘it’s awesome to see how much effort you put in to learning that new skateboard trick’) keep on trying when faced with challenges or difficulties.“
(from Gratitude & Kindness by Dr. Carla Fry & Dr. Lisa Ferrari, Registered Psychologists)

(Book Description from Amazon)
“As a new parent, it is my mission to raise our son in an environment of kindness to ensure his success and happiness in life.
