I think you’re onto the solution here: praise hard work first and foremost but also praise cleverness and resourcefulness just as much.

- gopher_space 3y agoCelebrating a milestone (birthday, graduating, completing a goal) and celebrating qualities that helped reach that milestone are two different things, in my mind. "Did a good job" is a perfectly adequate milestone to celebrate. Adding qualifiers only introduces the idea of limits, imho. There's no point in setting the bar for someone with unknown potential.
