The first article I read was Preschoolers and Praise: What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow?. The article was similar to the articles I read last week as it also referenced growth mindset. I found this article particularly interesting as it showed how important words and positivity is for the development of children. Being a psychology major and having taken classes such as developmental psychology, I have some knowledge of how the human mind and psych begins and develops. I think sometimes we do not realize how malleable the minds and brains of children are, and how impactful words or events can have on their future. I appreciated how the article highlighted the importance of growth mindset from a very early age. The second article I read was How to Give Bad Feedback Without Being a Jerk. This also reminded me of the articles I read for growth mindset as it gave clear ways to improve delivering feedback. Often giving feedback can be as difficult as receiving feedback. Personally, I might not look forward to giving critical feedback because of how a person may react or view me as being unfair or mean. I think it is important that we all know how to communicate criticism or advice effectively as often the communication style can be more detrimental than the feedback itself.
The way we communicate feedback is just as important as the feedback itself
