It can make them feel embarrassed, angry, or simply devalued, depending on the critic\u2019s context and delivery. Yet criticism is unavoidable in every stage of life, and we need to teach children to accept criticism and grow from feedback. As learning from criticism could be a valuable life skill for students, let\u2019s explore the topic of how parents and teachers can help students perceive and handle criticism at home, school and beyond in a healthy way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0e101a; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0e101a; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u00a0According to Carol Dweck, Stanford psychologist and researcher, students\u2019 perceptions of criticism are highly influenced by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/odmglobalschool.org\/updates\/is-intelligence-fixed-for-your-children-or-malleable\/\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #4a6ee0; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">whether they have a fixed or growth mindset<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0e101a; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">. Students with a fixed mindset accept criticism as personal, pointless and spirit-crushing. They see their abilities as fixed for a lifetime and assume that accepting criticism is not going to with their growth, thus expressing embarrassment and angriness while facing such situations. Contrary to this, students with a growth mindset accept criticism as a roadmap for their improvements. They learn to use criticism as a source to map their personal developments. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1323e93 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default default-style\" data-id=\"1323e93\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;rt_color_sets&quot;:&quot;default-style&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d53a6bf\" data-id=\"d53a6bf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad3c531 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ad3c531\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!

For example, say you compliment your middle school student on being an \u201calgebra natural.\u201d If he\/she later encounters difficulty with calculus, he\/she may chalk it up to a lack of innate ability and give up. In contrast, if we praise the manner in which students approach a problem, we imply that acquiring skills is a result of her own effort rather than what \u201cnature handed her.\u201d In the process, she learns that criticism or feedback is a tool for continued development.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0e101a; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0e101a; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">* Demonstrate a growth mindset<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0e101a; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">In conversations with students, we can discuss our own struggles and encourage them to do likewise.

When we detect the first whiff of criticism directed at us, our defence mechanisms and listening and comprehension skills tend to increase. This could cause us to misunderstand either the essence of the significance of what is being said. Avoid potentially unnecessary suffering. Listen to your critic calmly, attentively, and uninterruptedly. Then, restate the criticism in your own words to ensure you fully comprehended it. By listening without interruption, it is less likely that a conversation will escalate into an argument. By restating the criticism, you are emphasising comprehension as opposed to disproving your critic\u2019s concerns.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4998fec\" data-id=\"4998fec\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f170920 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f170920\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.odmps.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/focused-haired-latin-girl-sitting-school-desk-drawing-her-copybook-1-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"child-development\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.odmps.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/focused-haired-latin-girl-sitting-school-desk-drawing-her-copybook-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.odmps.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/focused-haired-latin-girl-sitting-school-desk-drawing-her-copybook-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.odmps.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/focused-haired-latin-girl-sitting-school-desk-drawing-her-copybook-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.odmps.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/focused-haired-latin-girl-sitting-school-desk-drawing-her-copybook-1-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.odmps.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/focused-haired-latin-girl-sitting-school-desk-drawing-her-copybook-1-915x610.jpg 915w, https:\/\/www.odmps.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/focused-haired-latin-girl-sitting-school-desk-drawing-her-copybook-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.odmps.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/focused-haired-latin-girl-sitting-school-desk-drawing-her-copybook-1-393x262.jpg 393w, https:\/\/www.odmps.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/focused-haired-latin-girl-sitting-school-desk-drawing-her-copybook-1-290x193.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.odmps.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/focused-haired-latin-girl-sitting-school-desk-drawing-her-copybook-1.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8007b50 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default default-style\" data-id=\"8007b50\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;rt_color_sets&quot;:&quot;default-style&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-edeb7b9\" data-id=\"edeb7b9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdc7319 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bdc7319\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"color: #0e101a; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Observe and reflect the rule of thumb: the stronger your emotional reaction (if any) to criticism, the longer and more significant your pause before responding should be. Restating the criticism buys you some time to gather your thoughts, but do not be afraid to say, \u201cI require some time to consider what you have said. Can we continue the discussion tomorrow?\u201d Then, while reviewing the critical comment(s), you should ask yourself, \u201cIs this criticism valid?\u201d Was it just? Do I agree with some parts while disagreeing with others? Did I make my best effort on [this assignment, game, or chore]? Is my critic qualified and impartial to comment?<\/span>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; text-align: justify; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0e101a; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Develop a plan of action, separating personal from actionable objectives. When criticism appears to be directed at a personal characteristic as opposed to a behaviour or action, it is important to analyse the comment and ask questions aimed at identifying the specific problem or performance issue and the concrete steps required to resolve it. Then, confront the criticism with a plan of action that puts you in charge of developing your own skills and abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0e101a; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Learning to accept criticism is both a life skill and a lifelong endeavour, and we could all use some encouragement and motivation.
