Stop Creating Anxious Kids with "Good Job" Praise
Discover the research-backed practices that build genuine resilience instead of approval-seeking behavior
Are you accidentally raising children who can't handle failure?
If you've been saying "good job!" and "you're so smart!" thinking you're building confidence, you might be shocked to learn you're actually creating anxious, approval-dependent kids.
The truth? Traditional praise often backfires, leaving children afraid to take risks, obsessed with being "perfect," and unable to bounce back from normal setbacks.
But there's a better way.
🚨 The Hidden Crisis in Our Kids
25% increase in childhood anxiety over the past decade
You've Probably Noticed It:
Kids who melt down over small mistakes
Children who won't try new things unless they're guaranteed to succeed
Students who constantly ask, "Am I doing this right?" instead of thinking for themselves
Young people who crumble under pressure despite being told they're "amazing" their whole lives
Here's what's really happening: Well-meaning parents and teachers have been accidentally teaching children that their worth depends on performance and peer and adult approval.
Why "Good Job!" Creates Anxiety
Research from Stanford University reveals that praise focused on ability rather than effort actually:
Decreases motivation to try challenging tasks
Increases fear of failure
Creates dependence on external validation
Reduces resilience when things get tough
Your child doesn't need more empty compliments. They need genuine confidence that comes from within.
