Show notes

Today I'm talking about effort vs talent again, and how important it is to recognize the effort and hard work someone put into something vs their innate talents. Don't dismiss hard work as "talent" - recognize the perseverance, persistence, and effort when those things led to someone's success. Tie success to level of effort, and you'll be teaching kids that effort is what success is dependent on, and not something like "talent" or something they were born with.

Also note that this is the last episode of Season 1! We will be back with new episodes in Season 2 starting on December 11. In the interim, you can still find tasty good content on the blog! Talk to you then!
