Join me as we discuss:

Praising kids.  Is it good, or more like training a dog?

How there is a thin line between praising a kid to teach and train, and manipulate/trick kids into doing what we want.

How to find that thin line on praising.

SHOW NOTES

The Real Family Guys have suggested that praise is a powerful and wonderful tool to use in parenting.  But today we go over an article that suggests that praise is not a good thing.  Oooooh!  Now watcha gonna say?

Today we discuss how praise can be a wonderful thing, or be the same techniques that we use to train dogs.
