OFF053- How much should we praise our kids, and what should we praise them about?

Praise is quietly one of the more hotly debated topics when it comes to child development theory. It seems as though smart people have argued for praising in all manner of ways, from praising to encourage good behavior, to praising in order to raise self-esteem, to praising in order to build trust. But is it really that easy? In this episode James and Taylor break down how their attitudes about praise have shifted over the years, and the rather surprising conclusion they've come to. They break down Carol Dweck's seminal work Mindset, discuss Alfie Kohn's truly unique take on praise, and share what they've learned and taken away from each.
