[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 632016, member: 12856"] I taught in a special program for very young children. We were taught to acknowledge their accomplishments rather than praise. A child comes to you with a picture that they have drawn. Instead of saying," Wow you drew a frog". You would say, "Tell me about your picture. I noticed that you drew curved lines and circles. What happened when you mixed yellow and blue together." I use this with my youngest. "I noticed that you came home on time. You went to all your classes today. You cleaned up your room. Tell me about your project." It really does work. It shows genuine interest in them. I wish I had this information when mine was younger. He was a praise junkie. [/QUOTE]
