Ep 28: The Challenges of Using Praise
Description
Today Julie and Ginger talk about praise and how to use it effectively in the home and in the classroom. They also discuss some of the challenges of praise, especially with children from a history of trauma. Why do our children often reject praise? How does encouragement differ from praise?

Our hosts share some ideas of how to do this, specifically by using drive by praising and indirect praising. Listen in for examples.
