The ways we compliment and correct contribute to either a culture of effort and joy or apathy and fear. We either build our children up or tear them down. We either encourage or discourage. Offering feedback is significant communication! Therefore, how to compliment and correct well, and not criticize, will be explained and modeled. Examples and stories will make the ideas come alive.
