No. 2: Just the right amount of encouragement

Emotional support is vital for the harmonious development of a child, but this doesn’t mean you should praise them three times a day, even if they don’t do anything particularly remarkable. The “everybody is a winner” or “everybody gets a gold star” attitude won’t serve your child much good in the long run. It might boost his ego for the time being, but the truth is, once he grows up and is faced with the real world, those over-inflated encouragements won’t keep him warm. Of course you should praise your child from time to time, but only in situations where he actually deserves it.
