[quote=Anonymous]I know this may be a very unpopular response, but I’ll say it anyway. Demanding positive reinforcement from others to encourage yourself (or your child) is in itself a selfish demand. You can’t control how others behave toward you or your child. I do agree that positive reinforcement is the desired and more effective motivation. But our kids also need to learn how to take criticism and even ridicule from others. If they can’t handle that, they are going to have a very difficult time in sports and outside of sports. Before anyone accuses me of something - I do NOT teach my children to ever be mean to anyone and I do not condone mistreatment by anyone. But I also teach my children to not allow themselves to be bothered by criticism (constructive or otherwise) nor by mean people. [/quote]
