The key words of Mindly
Expectations
Labels create expectations, and the child may end up conforming to this image, which can limit their development.
Self-esteem
Formulating criticism constructively (focusing on behaviours rather than the child themselves) helps maintain a good self-esteem in the child.
Unconscious influence
Cognitive biases allow our brain to process information quickly, but they can distort our perception of reality.
Snap judgments
Taking a step back before judging a child's behaviour can help avoid hasty judgments.
Unfair labels
Labels influence not only the child's perception but also how they behave, often creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
Constructive criticism
Formulating criticism constructively, focusing on behaviour, is an effective way to help a child progress.
Pygmalion effect
The Pygmalion effect shows that if a parent or educator has positive expectations of a child, it can actually improve their behaviour and performance.
Encouragements
Being attentive to the child's emotions and offering them specific encouragement strengthens their self-esteem and helps them develop in a supportive environment.
