Somewhere over the years I heard that you should tell someone 5 things they are doing correctly for every 1 thing you want them to change. Do you know where that ratio comes from?

I grew up in a family where I heard both – the constant fault finding. Then insincere praise – praise that had a price tag of some sort on it. After I read this article I practiced in a very short meeting with a lady. Today I was on the phone with her again and she remembered me! So it does work, and it does need to be sincere and truly felt. And I can do it with myself to help me reinforce my best and true self as then it will become effortless with others.

What was the colour of the flower?

We do not have to be survivors – we are alive and must learn to let others also enjoy the freedom to breathe without fear.

I had been saving this in my Inbox until I had a time to read it. I am raising small children who crave praise. It’s hard to determine when to offer it and when to let the feeling of accomplishment be their own reward. This article really helps me to see that when in doubt, always offer praise. 😉 It can mean so much.
