In today’s episode, part 3 of a 3-part series about effective communication with kids, I discuss the 5-to-1 praise ration, the importance of specific vs. general praise, and learning to extinguish negativity by ignoring whenever possible.
I give a POWERFUL example about Gary Vaynerchuk’s mom’s approach (Gary is a very successful entrepreneur well-known in business circles). Gary was a D and F student growing up but his mom focused on praising his STRENGTHS and he turned those strengths into a multi-million dollar business.
I also discuss other ways we can implement this approach to positively mold and shape our kids into do-gooders and positive thinkers!
Question of the day: Give us your examples of how you were able to elicit more of your child’s strengths by using specific praise!
