It is not always a good thing to praise child...

It is not always a good thing to praise children because “empty” words may make them unhappy. Words such as “Well done!” may make them doubt their own abilities. 1. He said that words such as “You’re so clever!” or “You’re such an artist!” could also stop their future development at school. 2. They may say they can’t live up to these expectations.

Instead, he advised parents and teachers to praise children less and use words like“trying really hard”. Mr. Grosz said, “3.People often pay no attention to children’s feelings and thoughts.” He also mentioned a research showing that children who were heavily praised probably performed worse at school.

Some psychologists from Columbia University asked 128 pupils aged 10 and 11 to work out a number of math problems. 4. But the researchers told the other group, “You did really well—you must have tried really hard.” Both groups of children were then given more difficult questions and those who had been told they were clever did not do as well as the others.

He said that when collecting his daughter from a school near their home in North London, he heard a teacher telling his daughter,“You have drawn the most beautiful tree. Well done.” Later, after she had done another drawing, the same teacher said, “Wow, you are really an artist.” In his book, Mr. Grosz wrote, “How could I explain to the teacher? 5.”

As a parent of two children, I strongly agree with Mr. Grosz. I want them to know if I praise them, they have done something beyond my expectation, beyond what they are able to do.

A.Parents should praise their children from time to time.

B. Empty praise is as bad as thoughtless criticism(批评).

C. In fact, I would prefer it if she did not praise my daughter.

D. Later, some were told, “You did really well—you’re so clever.”

E. A leading psychologist(心理学家) Stephen Grosz has warned it.

F. He also said that such empty praise caused children to be unhappy.

Alice, 35

I like shopping, but shopping with young children is not a good thing. I have to look after them while I'm shopping. I go shopping with my husband only when I buy something for him.

I have always wanted to share this story because it is one of the things that I will remember for my whole life. And I’m sure the other person feels the same.

We had a new teacher in my middle school World History class. She was very nice and excited to see us. She told a story about her 　　 fighting in a war and brought a picture of him. After about fifteen 　　 of her talking, the class started talking softly to each other 　　 they were getting bored. Looking 　　 , she asked “So, you guys don’t really want to hear any more?” No one dared to say “no” to her loud 　　 one kid. He said, “No, not really!” 　　 a disrespectful(无礼的) way. Some kids were a little 　　 and thought that it was rather rude.

I felt really bad for this teacher. No one should be 　　 in such a disrespectful manner. Therefore, near the end of the class I went up and said 　　 to her for the guy’s rude behavior.

We had a very nice, sincere conversation about her father.

The teacher was touched. She thanked me for coming up and actually treating her with the respect(尊敬) that she deserved. I felt at full peace with 　　 knowing that I did the right thing and I was super happy that I made her day. Even though I didn’t really care for history, I 　　 listened, and I hope that others in different situations will do the same. Listening means a lot to the people sharing; it really 　　 . If I had just left the class without saying a word, I would have felt very 　　 and would have a constant reminder, probably to this day, that justice(公义) was not served and I had left a person in their time of need.
