Encouraging Words
Instead of praising your child with, "good job," try these other words of encouragement!
Remember: You want a nice balance of praise AND challenge!
If you haven't already, check out the book Nurture Shock to read more about praise. Here's what one reviewer on amazon.com said:
Telling a kid he or she is smart rather than specifically praising them for their efforts will eventually backfire. The child will have a tendency to not put out a lot of effort when they are challenged because they are stymied by the feeling that they have to stay smart, or that they must be NOT smart if they can't solve a problem or puzzle. Telling a kid (s)he is smart is praising an innate feature that is out of the child's control. Praising them for each genuine effort (whether they solved a problem or not) will have a better outcome.
