Open Up the Dialogue
Ask questions instead of telling what to do.• “What role would you like me
to have with your homework?”
• “What are your priorities today?”
• “About how long do you think that assignment will take?”
• “What could be your biggest obstacle in completing it?

Using Praise to Motivate
•Praise effort, not intelligence, at every turn.• “I can tell you’re
working hard on that…”•Carol Dweck, Mindset
