Professor Carol Dweck: MINDSET

A standing-room-only group of 275 interested parents gathered to hear distinguished Stanford Professor Carol Dweck discuss her book, "MINDSET: How Praise Can Foster or Undermine Children’s Achievement."  In a wide-ranging question-and-answer session, Professor Dweck discussed why children sometimes stop working and suggested ways parents can communicate values that bring success.

The Menlo Park Library Foundation's autumn event clearly demonstrated how the programs of the Children's Area of the Library serve not only youngsters but their families.
