Feedback Strategies, helping kids grow

I read the article: Preschoolers and Praise: What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow? Which I found very interesting. A lot of little kids feel like they can't do a lot of things like tying shoes, or writing their name which results in them saying "I can't" too much then they should be. After reading the article I found that young kids are still trying to develop the idea of a self-concept, knowing what they are able to achieve, who they are and what they are capable of doing which plays a role in their saying "I can't". This is where a growth mindset comes into play with the help of parents, with parents sharing praise with the child and pointing out what they are doing good and improving at will teach kids to have a growth mindset in not say they cant but rather they are doing good and they will do better and keep progressing forward. Another key factor would be for parents to harness the power of yet, while kids become more independent they need to know the concept of yet. Knowing that while they may not be there yet or they can't do something yet will encourage them to keep trying harder to reach their goals, keeping a growth mindset no matter yet. I feel pretty confident when I give people feedback, if it is something I am confident about within my self then I am confident about giving people feedback in a clear and concise manner. I need to improve in giving feedback by getting my points across clearly, getting straight to the point and not making my answer more complicated then it needs to be to provide people with the best possible feedback.
