Growth Mindset and Brainology

Posted on March 28, 2010 at 1:21 PM

Lisa at "Keen Kids at Home" has a great blog post and review of the book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success," by Dr. Carol S. Dweck.  Lisa's to do list and the ABC news coverage on Brainology reminds me of Charlotte Mason's ideas.  Gina, you might like Brainology also since you have been reading the lastest brain research.  ~ Cori

 

From her post, Lisa says:  "Did I:

 

•Offer constructive criticism (to assist in learning from mistakes) without judgment?

•Praise effort, not ability?

•Ensure that the work given was challenging?

•Say “no” in a fair, thoughtful & respectful way?

•Learn something today?

•Foster a love of learning in a nurturing but challenging environment?"

Has anyone tried Brainology? I remember looking at it a while back and deciding it was too expensive and too computer based but now I am reconsidering.
