How about "Good job!" or "Nice work. Can I take this to work and hang it in my office?" or "Thanks for helping us pick up the house. It makes it so much nicer for all of us." | |

I'm not sold that it relates to older children and adults with self-esteem issues (self-identity). Also, I agree that calling someone good isn't the same as calling a certain behavior good, but I don't often see the two separated in practice. That is, a child does something nice and the parent/relative responds with "You're such a good boy/girl!" How would you address such a practice, when the praise clearly corresponds to a single event, not necessarily their actions on a whole? | |
