Praise is like frosting(糖衣) on a cake. A little makes it taste better and too much will ruin everything. Kids need your encouragement and love it when you recognize their achievements. Just don't ruin their trust by leading them to believe every little thing they do is worthy of big cheers. When they grow up,they will find that they can't be accepted by society and probably think it is you who are making them so needy of praise.
Recently,I had the opportunity to observe a family,5-year-old Joshua and his parents,in action. They had arrived at my office about 15 minutes early,and having returned from lunch with a few minutes to spare,I was chatting with my secretary in the waiting room. As I was collecting my things to walk back to my office,I was taken aback by a series of Joshua's mother's comments. The kid was playing with some blocks on the floor,and Mom was giving a running commentary on his progress. “Oh,Joshua,that's such a nice stack (堆) of blocks. You are so smart!” followed by “What a great job. I couldn’ t have built that when I was your age." Then Dad added, “That's my boy”,which nearly caused my secretary to gag(使室息) .After all,the kid was 5 years old,and stacking up a few wooden blocks is not a great achievement. No wonder he was having problems following directions in school — no teacher would be able to give him the amount of attention and praise necessary to keep the child interested.
What is wrong with praising a child? Actually,it may cause a lot of harm if it is not given properly. Most parents believe that giving praise is like giving children healthy food such as calorie-free chocolate “ the more,the better. But praising children in certain ways may set them up to become praise junkies (成瘾者)一 expecting their parents or others to praise them for almost every act or feeling,rather than developing internal measurement for self-respect and feelings of achievement. Try to give praise only when necessary,no more and no less.
