MMP88: Talkin’ Smack About Our Kids

Our convo this week includes a clip from my Mastermind where I discuss a 1968 study done in a school called the Pygmalion Effect.

The Pygmalion effect is the phenomenon whereby others' expectations of a person affect the person's performance. The bottom line is that what we think and say about a child has the ability to greatly impact their future success. So remember, your words have power...when you speak unkindly about your kids, it represents what you’re really thinking or worried about and those thoughts can hinder their performance and their life. Think better thoughts. Say useful words. Find a new narrative. Encourage and support your kids. And if your kids aren’t “doing well”, get curious and figure out why. Learn how to support your kids so that they have the brightest future possible. THEY deserve it!
