Lessons in Education: Encouragement
CrownHeights.info is happy to present the first in a series of short pieces on Chinuch by Rabbi Nochem Kaplan. In the inaugural segment he discusses “The power of positive attention”. He posits that a few encouraging words are the best motivator and the best reward for children. Complimenting children for following rules and good behavior and telling them that we are proud of them almost guarantees that it will be repeated.
