I'm a former "gifted child" and I'm certain that constantly being praised for my intelligence by teachers and parents harmed me.
I've always had a deeply set need to APPEAR smart in any setting that I'm in. Even in this comment I'm writing right now. Wow, look at him, so aware of himself, so sharp.
I just turned 30, and it's only now that I'm well on my way to earning my Bachelor's degree.
good thing I watch a lot of anime to overwrite that!
Same here. Only that it will take me 2 more years to my bachelor's degree.
Thank you for sharing! It scares me to know that my way of praising my children may have caused them any harm. But hopefully not, and thankfully it’s never too late to change ❤️
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink ….you probably are learning for yourself, instead of trying to make others happy.
@@catherinebombara248 yeah, "people pleasing" and valuing peace over all else is a whole different thing that I'm learning to break from.
Thanks Woebot

Im here from Woebot
2:00 “The only thing that differed were their mindsets” that sentence makes my skin crawl. I do hope the study was accounting for things like child’s exposure to trauma, mental illness, poverty, and so on. It’s very different to compare a child getting adequate care at home to one who, say, might not be getting proper praise at all. That being said, children DO deserve proper role models who can help them develop a growth mindset. It’s worth it-but let’s not discount how involved it may be for some to develop that mindset.
Exactly
Well, this video just explained the last 5 years of my life. I can't believe I just had break through from chatting with a robot for a week.
love woebot.
❤️
Oh man! I think I must have been praised for my innate intelligence as a kid, because I never tried and then flat lined in high school. Still, I got rid of that mind-set a while ago and have embraced learning through mistakes. Now I have two kids and I think at least one of them is in the stuck mind-set. At least I've got time to try to turn it around. Thanks.
Do you mind sharing how did you manage to get rid of the mindset? Thank you!! :)
How old are you? I'm 33 and feel like it's too late.
@@Lee-rg1ez It's never too late.
Thank you thank you thank you for the animation!!! I have ADHD and really can't stand videos over a minute or two. This one kept me engaged the entire time, and was a great lesson to boot!
I remember having a talk with my friend. She kept telling her first child how hes so handsome and so smart, and I mad the suggestion to move away from "you're so smart" to "good job" and "nice work" and praising the effort. She didn't comply and now we have a kid who has mild depression because he is learning that not everyone sees him in that light. We are now watching the "bored" cover and distractions from putting in any effort.
Woebot out here got me crying 😭
Woe bot is a fucken lad
Got me crying too 😅
my school asked me to see this for class, and while i appreciate the message and material, there is something deeply weird about being asked to learn to love the process of failing, while simultaneously being in risk of failing a class and getting kicked out of school
Academic NIMBYism. You're encouraged and welcomed to learn and love to fail.
Just don't fail at our school as it will take away state funds.
'Hello to Jason Isaacs' has instantly made this my favourite RSA production yet! Brava!
I wish I knew this when I was younger. I would tell my parents to praise me more for the process of what I was doing.
+Karen Nakamaru I totally agree with you! But it is still useful to know now!
+Karen Nakamaru i agree too! I wish i knew it back in those days!
+神野祐輔 If only a genius at SFC would invent a time machine! LOL
have you wached this? she litterally said that that's NOT good.........
+marieke Elzer
looks like you didn't watch this actually (;
Karen said she wished her parents praised her PROCESS, which is beneficial. Rather than praising her for her "natural intelligence". These process praises gives someone a specific action they know they can work on instead of relying on nature - which is not something you can change.
ex.
"I like the amount of brainstorming you've done, it really shows in your resulting essay."
vs.
"Your essay is really good, you're a great writer."
See the difference?
As a teacher, I prefer not to praise, especially general ones like "good job." It loses it value when it's overused. I would rather describe their process whether if the child is struggling or successfully in doing a task. For example, "I see you are struggling and frustrated in solving that puzzle. Maybe you can ask your friend to help you." "I see you have figured out how to do that puzzle. How about you try this one (a harder one)?" I have seen how their confidence grow and they are willing to take on more challenges as the video stated when the adult focuses on the learning process.
Thanx for sharing
Thank you for sharing
We watched this in science class and it changed the way I think about learning. Thank you!
I was a very gifted child in school and absolutely still am. I was always praised for BOTH my intelligence and how hard I work to achieve my goals, and I have reached great success. I skipped 6th and 7th grade, graduated high school at 16 simultaneously with an Associate's Degree, and will be graduating at the top of my class next year with a Bachelor's at 18, all while running three different businesses, speaking three languages, and playing six instruments. I believe that both are important.
I wish I could draw like this, but I can't... YET!
and never will...yet
I met Carol Dweck when I worked at Columbia University in the the early 2000s. She was always extremely kind, cordial, and interesting. I am so glad that she continues to do such important work.
You must have tried really hard on this video! Great work.
I just want to thank you for not only putting out this information, but overlaying a format that is helpful in digesting it. The whiteboard drawing is a novel way to present information. Much appreciated.
This was an amazing video, I am glad my math teacher put this as a homework assignment as this has given me new insights about learning.
Woebot is 🤖 is never fail to amaze - kudos to the team who gives woebot a meaningful life 🗿
Carol Dweck's findings are simply fantastic, an amazing way to understand the learning process to help others and ourselves
So glad to see animates are back
valuable for me as a mother and a teacher, thank you so much. My subconscious self followed the route which makes me so happy.
I miss these presentations.
I am an educator and familiar with Carol Dweck's wonderful work. This animation is so creative, its awesomeness overloaded!
Be careful not to tell her it's awesome though. We want Carol to continue to grow and embrace the process :)
What a brilliant idea for teaching and learning, more particularly for adolescents who are struggling to go through a difficult transition period in their life. Teachers and parents who know how to use the right kind of praise will certainly improve students' performance; Carol, thank you for helping us help kids bring the best out of themselves
Who else is here from Woebot
Nini Fleeny me
Me!! Haha
Me!
Me, as well!
Me too 😀
Nice animation. I just showed this video to my classroom of 12th grade math students. One student commented that it's nice to be able to see it and hear it at the same time.
I love studying STEM subjects now that I'm in college, but in k-12 I did say math was "boring", and it wasn't because I was afraid to try; it's because it was boring and the way they taught it was purely mechanical with no reference to a bigger picture.
this video format with the animation and sketches and everything is awesome for people to follow a talk. keep making these! this is high quality stuff as well. seriously, get cognitive media to do more of these and expand!
9:28 I wonder how many people catch that reference. Haha... Anyway, Woebot brought me here. And the only reason it did was I kept choosing the "wrong" answer and it eventually brought me here. I was one of those "smart" kids in the "AP" classes who was already dubbed a guaranteed success because of my intelligence. Well it hasn't worked out that way.
Following a suggestion from a book I've been reading, it says to "practice being wrong; enjoy being wrong, you can be wrong and still live through it." It was such a challenge going through this Woebot lesson, continuing to click the "wrong" answer, which kept prompting Woebot to provide more and more information to help me understand it. There were two moments when I felt myself thinking if I kept doing this then the app would run out of ways to teach me and would rate me as "dumb" or "slow." But I have learned so much by taking this route. Including this video. And so far, nothing bad has happened to me. What a shock! Lol
I think this can be applied to adults too. It's never too late to change that mindset and start growing.
Jamie Dallas oh I am an adult and I didn’t build up a growth mindset, YET
Wow.. I know who I am now. I can see my path, I can see what I've become. I can change now if I can get through my fear.
Welcome back RSA, this style was the reason why I subscribed.
Thank you for this video! I am going to apply "praising process" to training and coaching new staff, and fostering a growth mindset in an older group of learners.
I like this kind of presentation! I never get bored lol. People made this animation seemed to have worked very hard.I pay respect to them.
I'm glad to get useful knowledge in this video. I found that to praise is important for us.
Sooooo happy to see RSA animate back! The hope of it's return was the biggest reason I stayed subscribed. They always have great ideas that are easily presentable to others.
+MusicBent Also I love the Star Wars cameo at 8:18
+MusicBent and the Breakfast Club a the end
This is very, very interesting, however I do have some reservations with such a blanket statement. I do think some children can thrive better when praised also for their intelligence, in other words not only "can they do", but also have the full capacity to do so. In end effect its about not only raising their self esteem, trusting their own abilities and pushing beyond (making learning fun) but also that they learn how to "run and master their own engine".
Great video on growth mindset. I often can get a clue about a child's view on mindset. Some parents often ask if the child behaves in class; others often ask if the child works hard in class. The first child is often of the fixed mindset; the second child often has a growth mindset. I think parents prime negatively or positively a child's mindset (i.e., just as the parent that tell a child that he or she is a "genius" .)
This is extremely helpful to me as I am a new literacy tutor to children in Cincinnati. This gave me such a great insight!
Loving that the animations are back , helps a lot with this one as this woman saying there are only 2 kinds of mind set is plain wrong , also most "FIXED" mindsets have relised the education system is flawed and just a factory for churning out workers.
This was very uplifting! and honestly think it can be applied to every age more than just children :D I know it's helping me look at things differently right now. I'm just not successful. YET!
this is important. I will watch this everyday.
In my dance class, we often hear students say the "I can't do X", and in the past 2-3 years, at least one of us will call out YET! We let the student know that no one picks up these things quickly, and yes, a lot of what we are doing IS hard to do well without a lot of work. I think it helps the morale everyone in the class at the time it's said.
Absolutely brilliant. It’s so simple yet it seems like it could be highly effective.
I'm interested in this research. This research give me a new knowledge. I thought a children is so delicate. I learned that the praise is important to grow up child.
Very good video! I learned the correct way to praise and that totally makes sense. Interesting video.
Woebot is such a wonderful invention. I love it.
So do I
This single video is going change people's lives in profound ways
I loved that cartoons were adapted from Harry Potter , breakfast club ,Ghost World and the dead poet's society !!
I love these animations, it's the reason I subscribed =)
+David Cruickshank Yes, ditto. Thank you, RSA, for bringing them back.
Thanks for all the great movie references throughout.
this should be shown at every school around the world
I was terrible at math and science in middle school and high school. I truly believed only the "smart" kids were good at math because they were "born" with those abilities. Like the video discusses, because I sucked at math, I avoided it at all costs and never tried to get better. It wasn't until college that I began to understand and implement a mindset shift similar to the growth mindset discussed in this video. Instead of believing technical skills were attainable only for gifted individuals, I began to realize that with consistent effort and practice, most skills can be achieved by anyone. This growth mindset of seeking out difficult tasks or processes is directly applicable to the entrepreneurial mindset. Seeking out new opportunities or goals and having the confidence to navigate through difficult and inevitable mistakes will eventually lead to more opportunities and bigger goals!
What a charming voice ! Loved your voice
Thanks Woebot!
Brilliant ideas and even brighter representation
This is one of my favorite videos ever!
You said that the only thing that differed between the students over the course of two years was their mindsets. That is impossible. There was certainly more than just their mindsets that were different about them.
So beautiful animation!
Glad to see this presentation via the internet.
I'm interested in her presentation.
I very much enjoy discussing my scholastic struggles with others who also enjoy discussing theirs. I was raised with parents who, 'praised intelligence' to the point that now it's a running joke in my family that I know everything... even though the most commonly spoken words out of my mouth are, "I don't know."
great to see these are back! this one is a fantastic one to come back to! nice effort on this one lol
This is amazing research, and I feel it is so important for children.
I like this concept of a growth mindset, a learner risk taker. And I buy into the idea that some healthy learners get talked out of it by parental guidance that has unanticipated consequences. However, there are so many more children that have a fixed mindset because they are defeated by learning every day, due to very real learning impediments. How do you turn those children around? Words can only take you so far.
This is the true humanistic point of view! Thanks for this!
`If you have ability, you shouldn't need effort - is one of the worst beliefs that anyone can have` ... I believe that the combination of ability plus effort can bring about greatness, and with greatness, the potential for improvement of society.
Thank you the RSA! You are the reason why I started myself to do whiteboard animations!
Yeeeeees! This is SO amazing!
Another inspiring animation - really focused on sound principles.
I am touched by the video. In my teaching career, I made some comments that are bad for their health
RSA animate have some of the best educational videos on UA-cam.
Drawing based presentations are so much easier to follow.
i think this is good way to understand the presentation better visually.
It was very interesting! I learned that to praise the process is important. The animations were also very nice!
Could you please enable contributions option for your videos, so people can add translations? Thanks!
Is it okay to praise how smart this is?? brilliant insight and explanation. Thank you for helping me learn how to be a better parent..to all children in my life. Even to reflect on my own fixed mindset.
Love it! Makes so much sense - I will put this to work with my boys!
Not
Interesting study and beautifully expressed, thank you, it makes me think on that topic again when raising my kids. Me personally,honestly, I dont like somebody to praise me, rather I prefer somebody to comment on my process, what i did well and what i did not do well in order to be better next time. I like the "not yet" appraisal. It gives you motivation to strive to perform better :) After watching this video I will try more to praise my kids on the processes they create :)
This *former* self-proclaimed burnout really appreciates having a message that feels like it was tailor made. Thanks Woebot indeed!
Great information!! Now how can we encourage adults to get off the fixed path?
Mmm, all the measuring itself actually damages learning. We organize learning to measure progress. That helps a bit. But it damages all gifts outside the measured scales, reduces play (which is learning regardless of mindset), blinds capability to be creative, loving, compassionate, because the whole smart=scoring approach is as damaging as the wrong kind of praise.
Great to see the return of the RSA Aniamates
Another reason to unschool my children. One working on a Psychology Degree and the other working on getting into the NBA! Both have different passions.
Thanks for another animated presentation :) love the amount of movie references haha
i love your work, it helped me a lot to get the concept, why you don't publish the graph itself as learning media, too
EXCELLENT video. Thanks for uploading it :)
I loved the reference to Breakfast Club in the end
Yeah! There's one at 1:25 too.
This is what BYI is all about. We are working to learn not only how to give freedom to students in a growth mindset, but how to help students shift their mindsets.
I liked the drawing based presentation.And I also agree with the point.
Watched the original video and then this one. The images really help process the information better. Also, I spotted the hidden Harry Potter at 1:20 nice touch!
I'm definitely using this with my students. Although I've been valuing much more the process instead the result, it's not always something they notice consciously :)
Wonderful!
love your work guys, that great animation I mean
Is there a way we could get this infographic printed as a poster? I'd love to have this in every classroom in my kid's school.
Anyone from woebot? Lol
yep ^^
Very interesting topic and great animation. Thanks
Wow thanks! I missed RSA animated like hell!
This animation is so nice!
And this idea inspires me.
At the heart of all success is learning done well. Teaching/coaching is part of the mix that ensures learning goes well, and cannot be separated from an educator's work. Dweck does not advocate prizes for all, or indeed even that it's only about effort, because it's the educator's role to ensure the learner spends time doing the right things right. Practice makes permanent, so if you do the wrong things, error becomes the norm - you only have to see my golf swing to recognise the truth in that. And effort sometimes means completing things correctly by Tuesday, even learning the vocab for a test - no longer good enough to say, I don't know the vocab yet, because, guess what, it's time to move on. If you don't know something, you can't revise it later. Parents need to be very careful trying to support their child's learning; if the goal is near, fine, almost anything goes, but if the goal is distant, and means the child has much new to in terms of knowledge and skill, do avoid lethal mutations of packed learning like text books and workbooks - they'll kill the chances of success stone dead.
This was a great video, incredible insight.
