A Musing Father -- where parenting myths go to die
Well-researched piece, Kevin.
I love the book Growth Mindset. In fact, after reading it I told my wife she could pick our son's name but I got to pick his initials - CAN - so he would always have a reminder that he CAN do hard things.
Wow. Love that, Craig. He is going to be able to run through walls :)
