86. Praise and its impact on the Under 5 child at play
During playtime we all get excited by what they’ve done. Our kids do great things ….Is there a right or wrong way to praise them? Seems like there is,as there’s mounting evidence that the way we praise them during their under 5 play will have lasting effects into school and future life.
Ashely Merryman joins the show today to talk about her New York Times best seller Nurture shock that she co authored with Po Bronson. We discuss the first chapter of this book and take a pop quiz about sleep. Will you pass?
