7 Ways to Raise a Well-Rounded Child

Research conducted by Carol Dweck, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at Stanford University, and a leading researcher in the field of achievement and success, discovered that a person's mindset can influence their behavior. When it comes to parenting, she suggests praising your child for his hard work instead of labeling him as "smart" or "talented."

People with a fixed mindset are usually reluctant to take on challenges because they believe their achievements come from innate abilities. Those with a growth mindset are usually more willing to face challenges with hard work because they believe in always learning new skills. "Above all, keep in mind that the grade is not what motivates a top student to succeed—it's his inner drive for learning," adds Borba.
