Tools or the Trade: Stop Telling Your Kids They're Smart!

Real Life Parenting, a Parenting Power Podcast

We mean well with our intentions and think we are helping our kids but are we causing more harm than good? Gail Bell discusses the harm we can cause by telling our kids they're smart. Learn the difference between praise and encouragement to help your kids recognize the effort and expectations of a process rather than the result.

Gail’s career has always involved working with children, both in home and abroad. Her 20+ years in the public and private school systems both as an educator in the classroom, and as an administrator provides her with a broad experience base and unique insight when working with children and parents. Gail easily engages an audience with her enthusiasm for parenting, and her belief that all children want to learn, try their best, and do what is right, contributes to her goal of building positive relationships between parents and children. Gail holds a B.Ed. with Distinction and a M.A. (Honours) in Administration and Curriculum Development from Gonzaga University.
