[quote=Anonymous]I already posted. Preschool teacher here. I had another thought...the "Are you proud of this?" Is ok (and something I say it, too) BUT it has to be said in a,kind voice w/ an emphasis on "I know you can do better. Show me your BEST work. I use it as encouragement and as a motivator." Actually, the kids really respond well to this, and sometimes now they even hand me their work, and say to me " I did my best." The dynamic and social climate in my class is such that my kids KNOW that they can make endless mistakes, and it is ok. After all, that is part of learning. But the effort (and pride) needs to be there. The child needs to know the teacher cares. Almost like a partnership. [/quote]
