Telling kids "great job" is fine if they've actually done a great job. But empty praise keeps kids from find meaning in their efforts. Acknowledging when they've worked hard will go farther, said Lynn Zakeri, a mother and clinical therapist. And praises for one child may not be fulfilling for another. Meeting children where they are, and assessing their individual needs is the best approach to praise.
Another tip Zakeri gives is to talk to children while walking the dog or driving together in the car. Sometimes making eye contact is too intimidating for kids. Taking away that intimidation will get kids to feel less judgement, and encourage them to open up more.
