Happiness Matters: Pressured to Succeed (repost)

Sorry for the technical difficulties with this podcast -- it is fixed now if you'd like to listen!

If you have read any of my posts about perfectionism and thought, “ut-oh,” I’ve got a perfectionist in my midst, this podcast will be of interest to you. How willing to make mistakes we are is a function of our mindset. Learn whether you embody a “growth-mindset” or a “fixed-mindset,” and why this is important for motivating kids to be engaged in their learning.
