Are kids getting too much Praise.Too much price may be doing more harm than good for kids.
A cover story in scholastic instructor magazine asks whether kids today are overpriced.The worry is that while trying to build up kids confidence，parents are paying the attention.Two kids real goals and achievements in a recent study eighth graders in Korea and the United States were asked whether they were good at math，among the American students，thirty nine percent said they were excellent and maths.Compared to just six percent of Korean eighth graders but the reality was kind of different.The Korean kids scored far better than the over confident American students.
The disadvantage of too much Praise is that.Kids may start to refocus on the reward rather than what they are learning worse when a student fails.Whose confidence comes from a blind sense of achievement rather than his or her real abilities.The result can be devastating.This doesn't mean we shouldn't praise our kids or that teacherouldn't try to build up their students self-confidence.But self confidence should be the result of good grades and real achievements instead of empty Praise from others.
Last month，Cognitive Daily reported that parents and teacherould be specific rather than general when they offer praise.An example of general praise is telling a child， "you're smart." Specific praise would be to say.， "You did a good job on reading ..."，or "You did great on your math test." Kids who receive general praise about their abilities probably show "helpless" behavior when they meet with problems with learning，compared with kids who receive specific praise about their achievement on a task.The reason：a child who knowe's a smart girl feel defeated （挫败的） if she has trouble has trouble reading a sentence.But a child who has been told she is a good reader will probably have confidence in that specific ability and work a little harder to deal with a more difficult book.

A．American students are over-praised so they got higher scores.
B．American students are over-confident but they achieve less.
C．Most students are really good at math.
D．Korean students are much smarter.
（2）According to Paragraph 3，kids' self-confidence should come from .
A．teachers' love and support
B．what they are able to do well
C．a blind sense of achievement
D．What they get from parents
（3）Which of the following is the best example about specific praise？
A．Mr.Smith told his daughter "You are clever".
B．The headmaster wrote to one of his students，saying "I am so proud of you."
C．Your mother said to you， "Your handwriting has improved because of hard work."
D．Parents often said to their children， "Well done!" when they got good grades.
