[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 17548, member: 10"] Hi, This is really a continuation of my Thread - 5 reasons for not saying good job by Alfie Kohn. The New Yotk Times has a feaure on the ' inverse power of praise ' [url="http://nymag.com/news/features/27840/"]http://nymag.com/news/features/27840/[/url] My impression from the article is that there is room for praise that focuses the kid on what was done , gets the kid to reflect and have a learning experience , rather than boost self esteem. The article talks about praising the process, not the result. Myrna Shure talks about a similar idea, praise thinking not the solution or the result. The solution may be good in this situation, not in others. The link to Alfie Kohn's article is [url="http://www.alfiekohn.org/parenting/gj.htm"]http://www.alfiekohn.org/parenting/gj.htm[/url] Allan [/QUOTE]
