Bob Blume advises parents to praise effort over grades
Educator and author Bob Blume advises parents to prioritize praising a child's effort, perseverance, and learning progress rather than focusing solely on grades or results.
Blume warns that attributing success primarily to intelligence can create undue pressure. If children believe their value is tied to innate intelligence, they may struggle with self-esteem when facing difficult tasks. He suggests that emphasizing effort helps children understand that skills can be developed through strategy and persistence.
Furthermore, Blume notes that in the age of artificial intelligence, where polished final products can be easily generated by software, the intrinsic value of the learning process and individual effort becomes even more critical.
