I read a story about a teacher who was meeting with parents after the second week of school. There was two kids with the same name and the teacher gave the compliment by mistake to the parents who’s kid is not so great. The next day, the kid comes to the teacher and says thanks for the compliment, nobody’s has done that for me before. – And he promised to do his best and did.
The article was about how compliments have a positive impact. Of course IF a child does something wrong, we need to advise them about the right way.
We should also notice though when they do something good like if the youth helps someone OR is studying hard, compliment that in order to encourage them to keep doing good.
Also, when a person thinks person E Won’t do well and person B Will, that’s what happens. But if you put faith in both of them to do well, then the first one will also do well.
