9.Praise good effort, not intelligence
鼓勵孩子多嘗試,不要只注重結果
Your kids may be smart, but you should focus your praise on the effort they put into succeeding at tasks.Kids who are praised on intelligence often feel it is a fixed trait, and mistakes or failures severely hurt their self-confidence.Kids who are praised on effort often focus more on learning, and are not afraid of a challenge, or to fail and try again。
孩子們可能很聰明,但是父母更應該注重對孩子們完成任務時所作出的努力給與鼓勵。如果父母總是在孩子們獲得成功時才給與鼓勵的話,孩子們會認為 這是一種固定的模式,任何錯誤或者失敗都會打擊到他們的自信心。被父母鼓勵多嘗試的孩子更多地注重學習,也不怕挑戰和失敗,他們會一次次的嘗試。
10.Learn a second language
學習一門外語
Early studies in this field have preliminarily shown that bilingual kids can focus better under pressure and focus better on relevant information.Research is being done still, but many argue that the peak of language learning ability ends before puberty.It has been shown that young children can learn new languages with nearly perfect fluency and pronunciation。
這一領域先前的研究表明,會說兩門語言的孩子在壓力環境下更能集中精神,對于相關信息的專注度也更高。相關方面的研究還在繼續,但是許多人認為,語言學習能力在青春期前達到頂峰,而后就保持在固定的水平。還有證據表明,孩子學習起新語言來會非常流暢,發音也更為準確。
