Encourage rather than praise whenever you can. Encouragement is more difficult, because it requires you to pause a moment and interact with the other person. This applies to any person you are in contact with, but especially to interactions with children. When someone receives praise, they may come to feel they are entitled to it. When a person receives encouragement, they feel confident in what they have done, and then apply that confidence to their next endeavor.
