ABC Nightline - Praising your kid, can it be harmful?

Research shows the "wrong" kind of praising can be harmful. Fascinating. And we are all guilty of this. Basically the research shows us we should be honest, challenge our kids, rather than give them empty praises. That only makes them more insecure. In essence, we are raising children to be unsure of themselves, and less likely to take on challenges to become a success. NOTE: Telling your child you love them is NEVER harmful. Praising them without reason is.
