Intelligence”, by Carol Dweck, the message it conveys to parents is clearly shown, that it is much more important to praise for effort and not intelligence. I find that at some point most children go through the phase where they are not accepted for whom they are, and I am one of them.

I remember my fingers anxiously tapping my desk while I looked around a dull room of thirty students of whom I was subconsciously “competing” with. I remember contemplating what the implications might reveal based upon my projected performance. For many students, standardized tests could be the difference between a “dream” school and a “safe” school, scholarships and student loans, and a feeling of superiority or discouragement.
