Do you practise the pygmallion effect - The Positive Habit Weekly Blog

"The difference between a flower girl and a lady is not the way she acts but in the way she is treated."

Eliza Doolittle - My Fair Lady

Dear *|FNAME|*

You may be familiar with the psychological term, 'Pygmalion Effect.' The effect is named after the Greek myth of Pygmalion, a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had carved which then came to life. If, metaphorically, love can turn stone into a soul what happens when we hold humans in the highest regard?

The psychologists Rosenthal and Jacobson used the basis of the myth to explore what happens when teachers have high expectations of their students. In an experiment in a Californian elementary school they demonstrated that high expectations lead to improved performance in a given area. The Pygmalion effect is a form of self-fulfilling prophecy. It confirms that how we see people matters!

So this week I beseech you to see the best in others, especially if you are a parent. Your perception of others has a huge impact on how they form their identity. Let's make this a positive one.

Have a wonderful week and hope to see you on Wednesday's Instagram Live at 8.15 pm. This week's video explains the focus of the session.

Lots of love & self-love,
