I don't have a source handy, but it's kind of a cliche in current popular psychology, followed by a recommendation to only praise children for effort, not talent.

It seems to me that praising for talent and praising for effort both are risks for Goodhart's law (any measure which is used to guide policy will become corrupt).

I am nowhere near introspective enough, nor do I know enough psychology. The only thing I know is that it is fixable.
