This book taught me about Growth Mindset: I was listening to the audiobook on way to work when teen was young… I was all “I’m gonna help Kiddo have a Growth Mindset! 🤛
ok now to write this grant… & if I don’t get it, I’m not cut out for science.”

This is why I am so glad many professors are transitioning to “ungrading”. The point is to learn and think and be able to articulate the concepts learned.
Memorizing shit for tests is an awful way to teach people how to be good critical thinkers & problem solvers.
All the parts of me I don’t like are magnified and I have a harder time dealing with them over there and I can’t help them deal with those part either bc I still am struggling myself.
Blah blah blah but you can support them because you have navigated it yourself is crap - because my stubbornness and temper get me in trouble to this day despite working on them
therapy is helping me. you can also sometimes say: it’s hard for me to know how to help you because I see so much of myself in you and I’ve struggled with some of the same. maybe they might have some ideas 🥹
