The PedsDocTalk Podcast: Child Health, Development & Parenting—From a Pediatrician Mom

Is praise ruining our kids?

Listen Later

Is praising our children okay? Will they end up seeking a life of external validation? On this episode, I welcome Dr Jenicka Engler, developmental neuropsychologist, clinical scientist, and mom to discuss:

  • If praise is really all bad?
  • How to effectively use praise
  • What the research tells us about praise
