Thanks for your comment, Natalie! It is a tricky balance to find, but it’s nice to know we can still encourage our kids! 🙂

I read Po Bronson’s book too and knew the negative effects of over praising, but was under the impression that in the Montessori classroom no praise was to be given. This was very timely as I have been working on giving my daughter less praise, but now I know she just needs different praise!

Thanks, Michelle! I really like #3, too. It’s helpful to know what type of praise to give. 🙂

Thanks for your comment, Debbie! I think we adults all feel a need for a “do-over” in some part of our lives. It’s nice that we can try to do things right with our kids and grandkids! 🙂

Thanks so much for your comment, Dionna! I love your example of Kieran’s tower building. It is amazing how positive the results can be when you just reflect back what your child has done.
