| Your child brings home a good grade on a reading or math assignment. You’re understandably proud and want to acknowledge this achievement and encourage them to keep trying. What do you say? The words are probably out of your mouth before you’ve thought about it: “You’re so smart!” Your intent is great. But the words might need some changing. Parents influence whether or not their children develop what psychologists call a “growth mindset” — a belief that intelligence can be developed over time. Children with this mindset are more likely to take on challenges, bounce back from failure, and believe they can improve with hard work. In short, all the important things. This is how you help them build it. |

|  | Building a growth mindset is about rethinking how you commend your children and how you react to their failings. |  |

| |  | | Flint And Tinder | | Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket | | If you watched HBO’s The Last of Us, two things are certain: You have a newfound fear of Cordyceps fungi, and you thought Pedro Pascal’s trucker jacket was a phenomenal end-of-the-world fit. While we can’t help you with the fungi, we can point you towards the look, which is a flannel-lined version of Flint and Tinder’s waxed trucker jacket. It’s warm and weather-resistant, perfect for autumn or apocalyptic scenarios. | | |
