A. Kids know when your praise is sincere and when it's not. B. Still, don't go too far in the other direction. C. But in fact, it may be just the opposite. D. Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. E. Children develop a sense of competence by seeing the consequences of their actions, not by being told about the consequences of their actions. F. But whatever it is, praise should be given on a case-by-case basis and be proportionate to the amount of effort your child put into it. |
Parents praise their kids whenever they do anything that seems to be something remarkable. Jenn Berman, PhD, a family therapist says, "We've gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when parents tended to be stricter." Parents have come to believe that by giving kids heaping portions of praise, they improve their self-esteem and confidence.Too much praise can backfire, it seems, and, when given in a way that's insincere, make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parent's praise has put them.
Not giving enough praise can be just as damaging as giving too much. Kids will feel like they're not good enough or that you don't care and, as a result, may see no point in stretching themselves for their accomplishments.
So what is the right amount of praise?If praise is sincere and genuine and focused on the effort not the outcome, you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward. "We should especially recognize our children's efforts to push themselves and work hard to achieve a goal," says Donahue, author of Parenting Without Fear, "One thing to remember is that it's the process not the end product that matters."
Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team, Donahue says. But if he's out there every day, shooting baskets, running drills, and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses because it's above and beyond the norm. Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when he has worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or complete a history assignment, Donahue adds.

First of all, you must want to learn. If you are not interested in learning English, no class will help you and no book will help you. So you have to be honest with yourself. Ask yourself, “Do I really want to learn English?” If you can't answer “yes” to this question, it is better for you to set English aside until you're ready and willing to learn.
● Set goals (目标).
To learn English well, you must set some goals. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} It will also help you to see your progress. Ask yourself, “What are my goals? What areas would I like to improve?” Think about what your goals are, and review once in a while to see that you are making progress toward your goals.
