COUNSELOR'S CORNER

Classes will be read Thanks for the Feedback by Julia Cook.

The skills taught in this book are receiving compliments and criticism positively. 

Receiving sincere compliments successfully can help foster a child's self-worth and self appreciation. Being able to give sincere compliments to another person teaches a child how to recognize and appreciate others. 

Accepting feedback as information helps students notice that there is no way to avoid feedback. There can be a lot of emotional reactivity with feedback (embarrassment, anger, frustration) which triggers defensiveness. Noticing that feedback doesn't always feel good but it is the price we pay for growing, can help with social maturity.
