Does Dweck discuss whether or not people are born with certain attitudes toward difficulty, or are these attitudes learned? What role do optimism and pessimism play in the development of these attitudes? How can we help people who deal with difficulties and challenges (stuttering) to change their attitudes? How much should we try to get the PWS to change--since so much of what we do as clinicians is to guide rather than force.
