As a parent, we think praising our child that they are intelligent, strong, or smart will build their confidence and they will get motivated to study more or work hard in their lives in general but studies shows that this is not the case. Rather, this is creating a whole opposite impact on kids' motivation levels and their growth as such. They are becoming procrastination issues, and anxiety and depression are more prevalent in such kids. They try to avoid challenges because if they take challenges it will prove ultimately that they are not as intelligent or smart as their parents say. The bubble of false ego will burst and they will be disappointed rather, they would like to be in a fancy world where parents are saying you are very intelligent only you are not putting in your best efforts that’s why you are not getting results. So, a tip for parents: praise your child’s efforts rather than telling them you are very intelligent.
