I looked back at it and it was a 50 minute essay the students read aloud. I don't know why I was thinking it was a fifty minute video they watched. I meant I might start printing up some of these popular articles on how the mind work to share with my kids later... "the human mind, the users manuel".
I think the advice makes sense that letting people know effort counts, effort expands your results, expands your capacity, The advice that letting kids know this increases their resiliency and willingness to stretch their capacity, sounds like practical advice to me.
Of course I'd rather just explain that and show them the article than quit telling my baby "you're the prettiest little princess in the whole wide world. How'd you get so gorgeous?"
