The right way to praise kids

Here is a link to a video clip on how to praise children.
Carol Dweck: The Effect of Praise on Mindsets

I chose this video as it is easy for parents to understand, you don't need to be an educator to understand this video. For more information about Carol Dweck, please visit

Praise is a very powerful tool. When it is used in the right way, it can unlock your children's potential but when it's used wrongly, it can also have negative impact on children. This is the language I use to praise your child at school and you can help me by using the same language when praising your child at home. Together we can help them develop confidence and build a 'can-do' attitude towards learning. 

Thank you for your support.
