Is it our responsibility to push our children so they achieve what they are capable of? Goodness knows where they’d end up if we didn’t?!! I’ll share why I think this approach is flawed and might actually back-fire. I’ll also share what we should be doing instead.

Here are the highlights:

(2:20) Mistakes and failure
(4:45) Two types of motivation
(7:15) Three parental choices
(9:50) Setting standards and expectations
(14:00) Remember growth mindset
(17:45) Mastery goals matter, not performance goals
(20:35) Give children a sense of autonomy
(23:15) Challenge them just enough
