After reading one on Kellys posts on facebook i have been thinking alot about the amount i use the phrase "good Girl"....i cant find the link to post here, but basically it was saying how you can use this phase too much and over praise children with negative effects,
for example....and instead of saying 'good girl' when she builds a tall tower, simply say ''what a tall tower you made with those yellow blocks"
Or 'good girl' when she shares a toy with another child, instead say ''look how happy lucy is that your sharing with her''
or good girl for helping pick up her toys...instead just say 'Thank You"!!

Im interested to see what other peoples views are on this, wish i could find the link....

.....found the link.....not sure if i can post, please remove if im being naughty http://codenamemama.com/2010/06/02/good-job/
