When our children do something super, what will we do as parents? Surely, we should praise them. However, we should take care of praising our children. When given inappropriately, our praise will only result in a negative impact for them.
“Positive praise for children, in one hand, can strengthen their motivation, but on the other hand, it may also result in negative impacts,” said Najelaa Shihab to Kompas Female in a talkshow “The Myth and Fact about Early Stimulation at Home” in a series of Breastfeeding Fair event 2012 held by Asosiasi Ibu Menyusui Indonesia (AIMI) in Grand Indonesia, Central Jakarta, May 2, 2013.
