[quote=Anonymous]I think it already is a thing, just phrased differently than how you put it. It is praising effort, not outcome. "I am proud of you for practicing/working so hard/studying so much/etc." Not "I am proud of you for being a star/getting all As/ making the varsity team/etc." In our house, we emphasize "doing your best" and that outcomes will be all over the place, for all kids. But if you did your best- both you and I can be proud of that. And even then, we always account for days where our best looks different from other days- and that is OK too. Outside factors can impact our effort. And we shouldn't pretend otherwise.[/quote]
