I might print it up and start saving some of these things to give to my kids. This is a nice summary of some reasonable sounding advice. It's something to think about. Hmm., I just wished they linked to that 50 minute video. I'd call that a high recommendation if a fifty minute children's cirriculum based on Carol Dweck's incremental theory was for sale I'd buy it and pass it around.

Clip:
It didn�t take long. The teachers�who hadn�t known which students had been assigned to which workshop�could pick out the students who had been taught that intelligence can be developed. They improved their study habits and grades. In a single semester, Blackwell reversed the students� longtime trend of decreasing math grades.
The only difference between the control group and the test group were two lessons, a total of 50 minutes spent teaching not math but a single idea: that the brain is a muscle. Giving it a harder workout makes you smarter. That alone improved their math scores.
