Children Cannot Be Fooled By Empty Praise And Condescending Encouragement. They May Have To Accept Artificial Bolstering Of Their Self-esteem In Lieu Of Something Better, But What I Call Their Accruing Ego Identity Gains Real Strength Only From Wholehearted And Consistent Recognition Of Real Accomplishment, That Is, Achievement That Has Meaning In Their Culture.

Children Love And Want To Be Loved And They Very Much Prefer The Joy Of Accomplishment To The Triumph Of Hateful Failure. Do Not Mistake A Child For His Symptom.
