But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect. Praisesholic kids who expect it at every turn may bee teens who seek to same kind of approval from friends when asked if they want to go in the backscat of the car.

And this carries over to the classroom. Social psychologist Carrol Dweck, PhD, tested the effects of overpraise on 400fifth graders while she was at Columbia University. She found that kids praised for ―trying hard‖ did better on testes and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being ―smart‖. ―Praising attributes(品質(zhì) ) or abilities makes a false promise that success will e to you because you have that quality, and it devalues effort, so children are afraid to take on challenges, ‖ says Dweck, now at Stanford University, ―They figure they’s better quit while they’re ahead.‖ 61.
