Not in Praise of Praise
November 21, 2017
I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.
-Louisa May Alcott

In her article that is used as the basis for the "Out of the Box" Training Kit, Not in Praise of Praise, Kathleen Grey writes that "praise as it is commonly used, expressed through an excess of wow words, is too frequently a manipulation. As such, it breeds resistance and suspicion (which may be only half consciously felt) and acts to weaken the connection between the praiser and the praised. And for many people, it sets up a puzzling dilemma. 'If I do this again so I can get this praise again, will I be doing it of my own accord or because I’m hooked on having this person's praise?'"

Absolutely agree with this. For years I've not liked the idea of praising kids. I think we are raising praise junkies. I love the term "wow" words. Great description of most people's praises. Thank you so much for this.
