I'm all about positive reinforcement and my kids probably think I'm completely crazy sometimes. I try to praise them and tell them how amazing they are quite often. Just this Saturday on our way home from Sackets Harbor they were singing in the back seat and I looked at Ro and said, "We are so lucky." I truly feel that way. Of course they can be trying from time to time, but on the whole they are pretty awesome kids. I wouldn't trade them for the world.
I do the same thing with my students, before correcting them or "talking" to them I always start with the phrase, "You are such a smart student..."
Kids need more praise and less neglect. Truth.
