I agree with the article “Raising smart kids” I believe that children who are smart they shouldn’t be labeled as smart or gifted. However, these labels leads, to children thoughts of being the best and focus on keeping their parents happy. However, once the gifted child doesn’t meet the requirements of their parents and teacher’s children become stressful and begin to have anxiety when completing assignments and tests. The child can’t focus on mastery when he or she mind is preoccupied with avoiding mistakes and getting a high score compare to mastering the assignment. When praising children for being smart builds children ego but also discouraging and doubting their ability. Therefore, children shouldn’t be praised but more like encouraged
