]Parents

everywhere

praise

their

kids.

Jenn

Berman,

author

of

The

A

to

Z

Guide

to

Raising

Happy

and

Confident

Kids,

says, “We've gone to the opposite

extreme of a few decades ago when parents tended to

be more strict.” By giving kids

a lot of praise, parents think they're building their children's confidence, when,

in fact, it may be just the opposite. Too much praise can backfire (

发生回火；事

与愿违

)

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 parents' praise

has put them.

Still, don't go too far in the other direction. 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 trying hard for their

accomplishments.

So what is the right amount of praise? Experts say that the quality of praise

is more important than the quantity. If praise is sincere 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:

Letting

Go

of

Worry

and

Focusing

on

What

Really

Matters

.

“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.

But

if

he's

out

there

every day and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his

team

wins

or

loses.

Praising

the

effort

and

not

the

outcome

can

also

mean

recognizing

your child when she has worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book

report.

But whatever it is, praise should be given on a case?by?case basis and be

proportionate (

相称的

) to the amount of effort your child has put into it.
