My dad di...oh my - how needed this reminder was. <br />My dad did a similar thing with me and math. I SUCK at math to this day. <br /><br />We are struggling not with the things that are said at our house but the tone in which they are said. Then J gets in trouble for using tone.....ugh - vicious circle.

I wish so much I could take them back and hope they don't remember them long term :(Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074856757394183697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511988469719165869.post-63090650725659544142012-08-07T00:33:18.729-04:002012-08-07T00:33:18.729-04:00I remember how much anything my dad said to me mat...I remember how much anything my dad said to me mattered, and I'm so sorry that yours had that impact on you. You're absolutely right that it's so easy to say something like that in a moment of frustration and not realize how much it could stick. I keep reading about how telling children they're smart actually inhibits motivation, and that makes it extra difficult to figure out how to talk to children about success and frustration. I'm finding that everything I knew as a teacher is turned upside down as a mom, and I'm already nervous for the years ahead!AShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588317658803614789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511988469719165869.post-43010292205384964342012-08-06T21:57:57.879-04:002012-08-06T21:57:57.879-04:00Wow.
