Last Friday while I was waiting for my wife to be done from her dentist appointment I read this very interesting topic about how you treat your kids and I find it encouraging to share it with you.
*A lot of parents always reward this child with praises like, “You’re so smart!”, especially after the kids aces a killer test. But new research says this well-meaning practice can backfire
In a 2017 study, published in a journal “Development Cognitive Neuroscience“, researchers used a fast-paced computer accuracy test to assess whether a child a “growth mindset” (or believed she can get smarter by working harder) or a fixed-mindset”(or believed her intelligence is fixed). Those with a growth mindset had a larger brain response – evidence by a spike in brain activity – after making a mistake, as they paid close attention to what went wrong.
These children, the researchers concluded were more likely to improve their performance versus those who tended to ignore their errors.
The conclusion, when you commend your kids say it like, “Wow! Your hard work paid off! “, On the other hand, if they do poorly on any endeavor, guide them to see her mistake and help her figure out how she can learn from them.
3 Ways to create healthy Family Lifestyle
With the rise of the 20th century, Christian believers and evangelical leaders and conservative politicians have derived the agenda to transform the standards of the community by focusing on “family values”. In the Philippines, given that we are a Christian nation has typically considered embracing the culture of keeping the objective subtle through considering the agenda to support homeschooling and using a strong military punishment amongst others.
Today, we live by the norms of society where we accept the morals depending on what is trending and famous among the modern approach of social media. Facebook, for example, have molested the morals of society, specially the youth because of easy access to the internet. They can easily watch sensual types of videos and pictures. It is painful for parents to see their children controlling them because on what is seen and heard over viral videos and rants. Day by day the number of teenage pregnancy has increased dramatically according to the Department of Health and World Health Organization. read more.
This is quite interesting especially teachers in the Philippines are always encouraged to give positive motivation. Here, they don’t encourage telling kids ‘good job’ and giving stickers.

It’s a great insight and a lesson for every parent I think. We all do this without thinking of the consequences. Of course, we need to appreciate them for their efforts but at the same time help them having that growth mindset.
