The self fulfilling prophecy is a concept that states "What you believe will happen, often happens because you sub-consciously make it happen" If you believe that you are going to fail, you really sub-consciously don't try as hard as you can. You sabotage your own efforts without knowing it. For example, when you say, she or he wouldn't go out with me. You often don't ask with confidence. Have you ever heard someone say, "you wouldn't lend me a quarter would you?" That person is asking for a "NO" answer!
Teachers who look at students with sagging pants on, often think he will never learn anything. Their resulting teacher 's effort becomes half-hearted. Parents who are raising children, whose father has abandoned them sometimes get frustrated and say, "you are awful, you are just like your no good daddy"
These are all things that can doom and effort, a class, and a child. So what can we do? What is the ACTION STEP? read and understand about the The self fulfilling prophecy , then do this.
