The power of yet

Recently I watched a video about the power of yet and how students' brain activity can improve if they get a task that challenges them and how they can show resilience when they face these challenges. The phycologist by the name of Carol Dweck lead the conference in the video gave a challenging test above their level then she asked a bunch of students how they liked it by her surprise she found out they liked the challenge. The video also talked about how teachers can improve their teaching by using encouraging them with the word yet and praising them throughout their projects and not after. By doing this the student is encouraged to keep working and be reselient. It also helps them in the future not to seek out awards and praise after they did something.
