I don't think parents should do that. Encouragement likely will be more help in the long run if given often. I can see how it might work in the negative; but to me that's like rolling the dice on your child's future. I think continuous praise and telling how good they are at something and encouragement is going to be the better way to handle things so that the child when grown has a solid view of themselves. Just MHO, bj
