[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 612427, member: 1721"] Here are some interesting things I found on TED, this morning. One is on instilling a mindset of growth ~ growth in intelligence, in confidence, in physical, physiologic change. One is on the language of building self confidence ~ both in ourselves, and in others. And one is on discovering what work it is that we can't not do. This one has to do with the concepts of passionate success. I think these pieces do apply to this conversation. Learning to interact in healthy ways involves changing our patterns of thought. I will paraphrase some of the most interesting stuff, in case you don't have time to listen to all of them. From the talk about success: "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." Jim Rohn From the talk on confidence: "Live strong." was Lance Armstrong's personal self talk. That is why he named his movement after it. "I am the greatest." was Mohammed Ali's self talk. "I am captain of my ship and the Master of my fate." was someone else's self talk, but I didn't catch whose. Ahem. Nonetheless, he must have been famous enough that his self talk is being used to inspire the rest of us. :O) And the talk on change: A fixed, as opposed to a fluid, or "growth" mindset, will say: "I can't do it." To help ourselves see it differently, a growth mindset would be: "I can't do it...yet." Interesting stuff. Also, each talk addresses changing the way we talk to children and grandchildren. Don't say: "You are so special." or, "You are so bright." These statements imply that the child has not had to try. It teaches them that if they don't get something right away, they need to give up. It teaches them that those who "get it" must be more special than they are. Far better to say: "You must have tried really hard to do this so well."
