    I read once that kids believe things they overhear more than the things that they are directly told and have been trying to do this ever since.

      Yeah. Also if you phrase things poorly they take the bad meaning all the time never say ‘‘you’re no dummy’’ you need to be more like ‘‘you can do this, your very smart’’
