Parents everywhere praise their kids. JennBerman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids, says,"We've gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when parentstended to be more strict." By giving kids a lot of praise, parents thinkthey're building their children's confidence, when, in fact, it may be just theopposite. Too much praise can backfire and, when given in a way that'sinsincere, make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of notbeing able to stay on top where their parents' praise has put them.

Still, don't go too far in the otherdirection. Not giving enough praise can be just as damaging gas giving toomuch. Kids will feel like they're not good enough or that you don't care and,as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments.

So what is the right amount of praise?Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. Ifpraise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome, you can give it asoften as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward." Weshould especially recognize our children's efforts to push themselves and workhard to achieve a goal, "says Donahue, author of Parenting Without Fear:Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What Really Matters. "One thing toremember is that it's the process not the end product that matters."

Your son may not be the best basketballplayer on his team. But if he's out there every day and playing hard, youshould praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses. Praisingthe effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when shehas worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book report. Butwhatever it is, praise should be given on a case-by-case basis and beproportionate(相称的)to the amount of effort your child has put into it.

各地的父母都称赞自己的孩子。

《培养快乐自信的孩子A到Z指南》(The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids)一书的作者简·伯曼(JennBerman)说:“我们已经走到了几十年前的另一个极端，那时父母往往更加严格。”

通过给孩子很多表扬，父母认为他们建立了孩子的信心，但事实上，可能恰恰相反。

过多的表扬可能会适得其反，而且如果给予的方式不真诚，孩子们会因为担心不能在父母的表扬中保持领先地位而不敢尝试新事物或冒险。

不过，别在另一个方向走得太远。

不给予足够的赞扬就像给予过多的有害气体一样。

孩子们会觉得他们不够好，或者你不关心他们，因此，他们可能会觉得为他们的成就努力没有意义。

那么赞美的恰当量是多少呢?

专家说，赞美的质量比数量更重要。

如果表扬是真诚的，并且关注的是努力而不是结果，当你的孩子做了一些值得口头奖励的事情时，你就可以给予表扬。”

我们尤其应该认识到孩子们为了实现目标而努力推动自己的努力，”多纳休说，他是《无所畏惧的父母:放下忧虑，专注于真正重要的事情》一书的作者。

“要记住的一点是，重要的是过程，而不是最终产品。”

你儿子可能不是队里最好的篮球运动员。

但是如果他每天都在球场上努力打球，不管他的球队是赢是输，你都应该表扬他的努力。

表扬孩子的努力而不是结果也意味着在她努力打扫院子、做饭或完成读书报告时认可她。

但不管它是什么,应给予表扬在个案基础上,适当的(相称的)的工作量你孩子。

【范文】

Currently, contrary to what people did inthe past, many parents think highly of their kids too often. It is not properto praise children too much, but they can't do the opposite. It is said thatwhat matters is not the quantity but the quality of praise. All in all, parentsare supposed to praise their children in promotion to how much effort theymake.

现在，与过去人们所做的相反，许多父母过于看重他们的孩子。

过分表扬孩子是不恰当的，但反过来也不能。

据说，重要的不是赞美的数量，而是赞美的质量。

总之，父母应该表扬他们的孩子在促进他们做了多少努力。
