Fewer believe in them. What many parents don\u2019t realize is that kids\u00a0will\u00a0grow or shrink to fit the mold we create for them. If you believe your kid is strong, smart, bold, successful \u2014 they will rise to the challenge. But if you believe your kid has limits, they will shrink to fit your expectations. This psychological phenomenon is called\u00a0the Pygmalion Effect. It\u2019s coined after the Greek myth of Pygmalion, a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he carved, which later came to life \u2014 symbolizing how\u00a0belief can shape reality.\u00a0In 1968, the Pygmalion Effect was officially brought to life in education. Psychologists Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson conducted a study where teachers were told certain students in the classroom were expected to show intellectual growth. The students (randomly selected) ended up\u00a0actually\u00a0performing better than their classmates \u2014 all because of their teacher\u2019s elevated expectations. I don\u2019t think we realize how powerful the Pygmalion Effect is. When you believe in your kids\u2019 potential \u2014\u00a0truly\u00a0believe in them \u2014 they will internalize these beliefs and rise to the occasion. On the other hand, low expectations can diminish their confidence and performance, resulting in their tendency to shrink to fit the mold. It starts with language. \u201cHe\u2019s not great with numbers.\u201d \u201cShe\u2019s more of a creative type.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s not really her thing.\u201d These casual phrases become deeply embedded self-identifiers. That can be a harmful thing. (Or, an amazing thing, depending on how we use it!) Read the full article here"}
