I don't know about everyone else, but this is something that is really important to me. I just want to raise happy and confident kids.

I found this really interesting so I thought I would pass it along.

Thanks, GG. That was interesting - and the first point reminded me of a fantastic story I read on the issue last year:

Wow. What a great article. It was amazing to me that by the time the kids were teenagers they were completely discounting the praise from their teachers, they thought criticism was a better motivator.

Ugh! Why couldn't raising kids be easier...or at least come with a manual. Smiler
