About this episode

"I can't do this." is one of the most defeating sentences a kid (or an adult) can say. But it's also one of the easiest to fix. Add a single three-letter word, and the whole sentence changes.

This episode unpacks the research behind growth mindset — the work of Carol Dweck, the science of what praise actually does, and the practical way to make "…yet" a habit in your family without it becoming a slogan.

What you'll learn

• The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, in plain English
• Why praising effort beats praising intelligence (and the exact thing to say instead)
• The smallest possible upgrade to your family's vocabulary — one word
