One of the most important thing a parent to can do to support any child whether they are in business or not is to praise them. Because I am a bit of a perfectionist, PRAISE is not an easy thing for me – giving or receiving. I have had to work at it from both ends! No all kids are audio learners nor do all feel loved with verbal affirmation but I do believe the Ability to PRAISE is a tool everyone wants in their Tool Kit for Life.
Here are 101 Ways to Praise! Some are exclusive “Cookisms” and some are a little quirky but all express praise. Pick our your favorites and start trying them out on those in your circle of influence today – especially your kids!
