When used correctly, praise is one of the most valuable and important tools any parent has. Praise helps children feel loved, trusted, and valued, and thus nourishes their self-esteem. Unfortunately, many parents either give praise too freely or too sparingly, unaware of the negative impact such behavior can have on their children. In this practical and practical guide, Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer describes exactly how boys respond to praise and reveals why understanding a boy's extraordinary sensitivity is key to knowing how to give the right amount of positive support. The author's clear, easy-to-follow advice shows parents why ¤ boys need regular, small doses of positive feedback to keep them interested and engaged in the work in hand; ¤ boys may value their mother's opinions less than their father's; ¤ boys may exploit praise and rewards and use them as bargaining chips to turn situations to their advantage. Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer is a widely known and respected author whose parenting and motivational advice has made her both a sought-after speaker in the field and a successful writer.
