Când „Am luat o notă mică” devine „Sunt prost!”. De ce e periculos ca un copil să-și măsoare valoarea în note

Children often equate their self-worth with academic grades, leading to harmful beliefs about their identity. High scores boost confidence, while low scores can cause self-doubt. This mindset can create a fear of failure and avoidance of challenges. Parents' focus on grades can reinforce this belief, making children feel valued only when they perform well. Psychologists warn that this dependency on academic performance for self-esteem can lead to anxiety and depression. The way parents react to grades can condition children to seek approval based on their results, rather than fostering intrinsic motivation and a love for learning.
