Challange #2, Day 4

This is a daily update in a series of blog posts for the challange we recently took with my wife. Our goal is to make us think before praising our son, think if it’s reasonable or what impact it may have. How did we do on Day #4?

Today I had some time to think about the praising and even forced myself to do some reading (!). But I think I praised him once by accident- while mother was putting on a hat (he hates that) on our way out- I was cheering him up and I think I said something like “oh, look how cool- you are laughing!” and then tried to change the subject.. One of the “whoops!”.

Anyway go read “Five reasons to stop saying “Good Job!” (in lithuanian) to see what we’re trying to do here.
