More Than “Good Job”: A Practical Guide to Praise That Builds Lifelong Learners

Most advice on praise misses the mark. It focuses on compliance or performance, rather than confidence and learning. We’ve all said “good job!” without thinking twice, but what if our praise is doing the opposite of what we intend? This guide helps you move beyond generic praise to build motivation, confidence, and deeper learning.

What's Inside?

• Why “good job” isn’t always helpful - and what to say instead

• How to use praise in ways that build confidence, not dependence

• The difference between person praise, process praise, and presence-based recognition

• How to avoid praise that pits children against each other

• What to say when praise feels clunky, awkward, or just doesn’t land
