Well done!

Go on admit it! You love praise, who doesn't? Everybody needs it.

Every time you praise someone, you build up their self-esteem and their self-confidence, and you encourage them to repeat the good behaviour. This is a somewhat underused technique with children, and a vastly underused technique with adults.

Give lot’s a praise, especially for behaviours you want repeated (You’re smart, cool and you’re pretty don’t count – there is nothing to repeat – although some of that can certainly help a person’s self-esteem and self-image).

Remember to give praise where praise is due, or even when it's not due...
