Challange #2, Day 9

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 #9?

Quite all-right, I think. I think!? Yeah, I feel we didn’t do a very good job with the no-praising challenge. Not that we’re over praising, no. But it’s just that we’re not thinking about it, not reading about it, well we’re not trying to improve.

But you know, what is the weirdest thing about it? When I really think of it, I don’t remember us over-praising our kid in a while.. And if I try to remember some speicifc situations- I do remember actually thinking about it, about our reaction etc. So maybe we are trying and doing that successfully, just unconsciously ? Let’s see for another few days.
