“Our message to parents is to focus on the process the child engages in...” — Carol S. Dweck Quote

“Our message to parents is to focus on the process the child engages in, such as trying hard or focusing on the task - what specific things they're doing rather than, 'You're so smart. You're so good at this.' Although it's never too late to change, what you do early matters.”

“You can't just declare that you have a growth mindset. Growth mindset is hard.”

“Praise your child explicitly for how capable they are of learning rather than telling them how smart they are.”

“If I had moved to Tokyo, I might even have become a completely different person... although, ever since the start, I've never wanted to move to Tokyo. I just can't handle there being so many people.”

“Although I myself don't go to church or synagogue, I do, whether it's superstition or whatever, pray every time I get on a plane. I just automatically do it. I say the same thing every time.”

“I've never lived in Eastern Europe, although both my wife and I have ancestors in Poland and Russia - but I can see the scenes I create.”
