John Rosemond, who...I say you're right on, sister! John Rosemond, who is my parenting guru, has alot to say about overpraising. I do actually say "Good Job" quite often, but only when they really have done a good job at something. Study after study has shown that an excess of praise does not help kids' performance. I've read that saying things like "I see you colored a purple tree" or "You climbed up and slid down" (note the lack of goods or bads) are much better than "I love your picture" or "Great job on the slide." Rosemond actually says that, since the meek shall inherit the earth, our goal for our kids shouldn't be a great self-esteem. But he says to feel good about ourselves we have to actually accomplish things for ourselves. I hugely recommend his book "Parenting by the Book" which uses the Bible as a parenting reference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990629602811921908.post-17244080576112923812008-10-23T00:55:00.000-04:002008-10-23T00:55:00.000-04:00I am also curious to hear why it is bad.
