Results vs Efforts Based Praise in Parenting 59:03

3y ago59:03

59:03

Something that we have learned in our life so far is that what counts more is the journey, not the destination. And we have noticed that we have been giving so much praise to our doves when they complete a project and come show us. "Oh! You did it!" "Good job!"
