Chapter 10 was my favorite chapter in NurtureShock. Like many people, I'd heard of the research that was done back in 1994 that's described in the excerpts below. They do such an interesting job in this book of showing how people that are in the old groove do things that are so much the opposite of what the new research has shown to be more important. This was particularly striking in this chapter, and I found it fascinating to read about the new research. | Chapter 10 was my favorite chapter in NurtureShock.

- For an article on praise that I've found particularly helpful that has many examples of praising effort, go to:
- Here are some more suggestions for finding ways to give descriptive praise and appreciative praise from the website for the book Mindset by Carol Dweck.
- Ask them how they went about it and show them how you appreciate their choices, their thinking process, or their persistence. Ask them about strategies that didn't work and what they learned from them. When they make mistakes, use these as occasions for teaching them to come up with new strategies. … Look for ways to convey your valuing of effort, perseverance, and learning …
- The following webpage has many examples and suggestions for how to cite specific behaviors in the praise that you give, and it also provides a shorter version of what's in the NurtureShock chapter on praise:
