To praise or not to praise

04 Oct

I’ve read this before, and it makes a lot of sense to me, and much is backed up by research.  Still, I sometimes need to re-read it to remind myself of how I really want to parent and the type of supportive environment I want my kids to spend as much time as possible in.

For anyone who spends time around kids, it’s worth a look….it just makes you stop and think why we praise kids and what they get, positive or negative, out of it.  I certainly want to raise kids who can think for themselves, do things for their own reasons and fulfilment and are not constantly looking for approval from others for what they do.  🙂
