You're right, there's nothing wrong with praise. It just shouldn't be the major reaction that children get from their parents. > The children learn from example, not from your words. Do YOU have fun doing your work? Do YOU enjoy mowing the lawn? Do YOU enjoy riding the bicycle? Then your child will too. Correct. And do you value them for just being them, instead of their achievements and their effort? if yes, they will too. > Admittedly I haven't read Jull, but I have heard a few quotes from his books before and none of them made sense to me either. They didn't make sense to me either, until I actually read the book. It's too big a shift from "standard" educational approaches to be summarized in a few quotes.
