Encouragement Principles:
- Contributing to the welfare of others builds self-worth
- How you “see” others defines who you are.
- We are all unique, not special
- Some forms of praise can be discouraging. Effective praise relies on describing, not judging.
- Children need encouragement, especially when they have made “poor” choices.
