It is not always a good thing to praise children because “empty” words may make them unhappy. Words such as “Well done!” may make them doubt their own abilities. 1. He said that words such as “You’re so clever!” or “You’re such an artist!” could also stop their future development at school. 2. They may say they can’t live up to these expectations.

Instead, he advised parents and teachers to praise children less and use words like“trying really hard”. Mr. Grosz said, “3.People often pay no attention to children’s feelings and thoughts.” He also mentioned a research showing that children who were heavily praised probably performed worse at school.

Some psychologists from Columbia University asked 128 pupils aged 10 and 11 to work out a number of math problems. 4. But the researchers told the other group, “You did really well—you must have tried really hard.” Both groups of children were then given more difficult questions and those who had been told they were clever did not do as well as the others.

He said that when collecting his daughter from a school near their home in North London, he heard a teacher telling his daughter,“You have drawn the most beautiful tree. Well done.” Later, after she had done another drawing, the same teacher said, “Wow, you are really an artist.” In his book, Mr. Grosz wrote, “How could I explain to the teacher? 5.”

As a parent of two children, I strongly agree with Mr. Grosz. I want them to know if I praise them, they have done something beyond my expectation, beyond what they are able to do.

A.Parents should praise their children from time to time.

B. Empty praise is as bad as thoughtless criticism(批評(píng)).

C. In fact, I would prefer it if she did not praise my daughter.

D. Later, some were told, “You did really well—you’re so clever.”

E. A leading psychologist(心理學(xué)家) Stephen Grosz has warned it.

F. He also said that such empty praise caused children to be unhappy.
