This passage is from the book Where the Rainbows Wait, written by Trent Jones and Carlton Stowers. Trent Jones shares his experience with his hypothesis which he calls “The Praise Method.” As a parent and a student myself, I was very pleased, and impressed with his teaching manner of employing positive reinforcement instead of only pointing out faults and mistakes a student makes.
