"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."
