Thanks Zen - I'll check it out. What we tell our kids about themselves is so important in how they ultimately will come to view themselves.
I doubt it. Kids test their self-perceptions against reality, and what you tell your children about themselves is more likely to affect how they view *you* in the long run.
I wonder why people think it is more pro-social to believe one's accomplishments are due to effort rather than ability. Believing the former can cause you to regard less-accomplished people as lazy.
