[quote=Anonymous]Focus on character traits over accomplishment: tenacity work ethic empathy and kindness diligence responsibility courage integrity resilience Everything that your child does should come back to a character trait. I can see that you worked hard on your project. I love that you stood up for your friend You did the right thing to listen to your teacher when it seemed like everyone else was goofing of. What can we learn from this mistake. FYI, I didn't do this as much as I should have- sometimes, I became focused on accomplishment as a manifestation of character. I have learned from it-- at end of childhood, I want to have raised a good person that other people will love, and have learned to be intentional in my praise. My DS is a teen. [/quote]
