Praise Children Properly

　Praise plays an important part in the growth of a person. Whoever hasn’t received praise for good deeds wouldn’t study hard later, otherwise those praise would work harder. So praise can be effective between kids and adults.

　 Most people like to be praised and they may long for approval and recognition from others. Therefore praising a kid for his good behavior can help him grow healthy. To be sure, not every use of praise is a calculated approach to control children’s behavior. Sometimes we praise kids just because we’re fully pleased by what they’ve done. Even then, however, it’s worth looking more closely. Praise may increase kids’ dependence on us. So I think while we admit the advantage of praise we can’t ignore the disadvantage of abusing it.

　 When our life is filled with sunshine, we need a bit rain to make our heads clear. Too much praise often makes people, especially the young, become conceited and arrogant, which thus spoils them. No person can live on praise all his life without being hurt.
