When my son completes a task, I can t help but praise him. It s 1 to give praise where praise is

due, right? But is there such a thing as too much praise?

According to psychologist Katherine Phillip, children don t benefit from 2 praise as much as we d

like to think. “Parents often praise, believing they are building their child s self-confidence. However,

over-praising can have a 3 effect,” says Phillip. “ When we use the same praise 4 , it may

become empty and no longer valued by the child. It can also become an expectation that anything they do

must be 5 with praise. This may lead the child to avoid taking risks due to fear of 6 their
parents. ”

Does this mean we should 7 all the praise? Phillip says no. “The key to healthy praise is to focus

on the process rather than the 8 . It is the 9 of a child s attempt, or the process in which they

achieved something, that is essential,” she says. “Parents should encourage their child to take the 10

needed to learn and grow. ”

So how do we break the 11 of praise we re all so accustomed to? Phillip says it s important to

12 between “ person praise” and “ process praise”. “ Person praise is 13 saying how great

someone is. It s a form of personal approval. Process praise is acknowledgement of the 14 the person

has just undertaken. Children who receive person praise are more likely to feel 15 after losing,” says
Phillip. (原创)
