Another great theory on word-choice, and their lasting impact on a child's beliefs-- is one founded by Dr. Carol Dweck, a professor from Stanford University. Instead of saying “you are so smart”, say “you didn't give up till you found the answer!” or “Wow! What did you do to get this accomplishment?” "you thought of many creative ideas!" "I love how you took a quick break to relax then went back to work" When we direct our focus on realistic and practical actions, this fosters an intrinsic sense of value and motivation as well as sets realistic standards for them to achieve and be proud of. Such children grow to have a "growth mindset" which enables them to enjoy the process of learning, growing and challenging themselves whether they achieve their initial goal or not. When we plainly say: "you are the smartest"... Whenever they aren't the smartest, they're more likely to feel like failures. Their confidence heavily depends on extrinsic (external) validation rather than from within.
Assalamualaikum sir Qahtani, greeting from Indonesia. Your speech is inspiring me so much. Hope you stay healthy and stay blessed, whenever and wherever you are.
Power of words and how it can give positive outcome or negative the way it is presented. thank you mr. mohammed for the powerfull presentation in a beautiful way
Even if you only have 8k views on this, I'm sure all 8 thousand appreciated every word! Which is more powerful than having hundreds of thousands of views and no one listening
Assalamualaikum... Mohammed... just heard you today and came to know about you. And I have become your fan for life. Lots of love from India. I wish I could meet someday in person in life.
I have been endeavoring to find an appropriate means of reaching out to you, and it seems this platform is the most viable option. I was deeply captivated by one of your speeches titled "Power of Words," and it has sparked my interest. I am currently considering incorporating it into my class performance which is due on Monday. Sir, may I respectfully request permission to use your speech for this purpose?
Thank you for saying yes to your calling. I feel inspired to be more mindful to choose the most useful words to bring about change and encouragement. Can you share the name of the study you referenced from Michigan State University?
