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.
