The two articles I choose to read were Be a Mirror and What Kind of Messages Help Kids Grow
"Be a mirror" also refers back to Carol Dweck , its to do with your mindset. Normally whenever I receive feedback, i normally feel as though its all criticism more so than anything else but by looking at the quality steps in this article its actually a much nicer way to give people feedback with not making them feel like their work they've done was poor.
Qualities:
- be specific
- focus on what there doing, not what there missing
- focus on their process
- make sure the feedback transfers
- take yourself out of the feedback
Be a mirror for the other person to see what they can achieve by this feedback/ what else they can do.
In the second article, it says to get rid of the generic praises when praises kids like "wow!" "Great job!" "Well done!"
Carol Dwek is already influencing parents with the growth mindset and the "Yet"
So when a child says " I cant do it" the parents are now replying with "you cant do it yet" to give the kids hope and make there mindset growth instead of fixed, to push themselves and want to challenge to achieve and not let failure define them.
From constantly reading articles about the growth mindset its opened my eyes to believing the power of Yet and how it doesn't make you feel like a failure, you just haven't completed the task but your nearly there, and I do believe this theory of feedback will work.
