Article: Neurosci Savvy Kids Smarter

A study by Carol Dweck of Stanford University showed the effect of belief on school performance.  It illustrated that children who were taught that neural connections could be formed to increase intelligence did better than those who were taught good study habits but nothing of brain plasticity.

My thoughts: This sounds like a wonderful way to help kids improve at schoolwork.  I'm going to work with my kids with it.  Also, in trying to learn more, I've found that Carol Dweck has a program for Middle and High School students (http://www.brainology.us/).  I'm hoping to check this out as well.

Any thoughts?
