"What does it take to be a good parent? We know some of the tricks for
teaching kids to become high achievers. For example, research suggests
that when parents praise effort rather than ability, children develop a
stronger work ethic and become more motivated."

Note that shaming isn't very productive, despite the media's fondness
for "naming and shaming".
