Are we all praise-junkies?
As I was writing my last entry, I got completely sidetracked by reading this article about praising children. I've often complained about how I feel we have become a society that overvalues the mediocre, but I was really happy to read that this study that was done not only reveals the potential damage of creating (and being) praise-junkies, but also offers a solution. If anyone wants to test this in their own lives, let me know how it goes!
