Let’s practice English speaking together

When parents give their children a fixed-mindset ideal, they are asking them to fit the mold of the brilliant, talented child, or be deemed unworthy. There is no room for error. And there is no room for the children’s individuality—their interests, their quirks, their desires and values. I can hardly count the times fixed-mindset parents have wrung their hands and told me how their children were rebelling or dropping out.

当父母给了孩子固定思维的理想，是在要求他们契合有才华有天赋的模范孩子，反之则被认作一文不值。不能有犯错的余地。孩子也不能有个性——自己的兴趣，怪癖，渴望和价值观。固定思维的父母拧着手告诉我，他们的孩子多么叛逆或落后的次数举不胜举。
