It is probably a bad idea to praise children for being intelligent…
Sixty-six percent of the children who were praised for their intelligence chose to work on easy problems that would show they were smart; over 90 percent of children praised for hard work chose problems that they would learn a lot from. If the children did well because they were smart, they did not want to risk finding out that they were not so smart after all. If they did well because they worked hard, they wanted problems that would test their limits and teach them how to do better.
