Did You Know?

"Children aren’t born knowing they are good at anything. It is your job to let them know they can be good at everything they do. If you repeatedly tell them they are doing well, they’ll believe you and continue to do well. There is no such thing as too much praise."

- Eve M. Dreyfus, M.D.
