Hi Guys,
Welcome back to my blog, today I will be talking again about feedback. I have read two articles about different feedback strategies that I would like to share with you.
The first article I have read is The Trouble With The Word "Amazing"
I found this article very interesting as I myself am one for saying something is amazing when it really isn't. It seems to be a word that a lot of us use to praise someone for something they have done rather than actually giving the right feedback.
The author Jennifer Gonzalez is right when she says that she can never understand why people say something is amazing when its not. In the last paragraph of the article she mentions about her gym teacher is giving positive feedback but not telling her that she is amazing as her gym teacher wants her to improve which personally I think is better feedback then saying "your doing amazing" when she wasn't.

The second article I read was The Difference Between Praise and Feedback.
This article opened my eyes to realize how much we sugarcoat things. We sugarcoat the way we talk to people and how we praise them instead of giving them feedback to improve on their mistakes. In this article they talk about how parents praise children for everything they do and thinking back on my childhood its true, I myself as a child was praised my parents for the smallest thing even if I shouldn't have been. I do think its important to give children feedback and for them to know that we are not trying to be harsh but we want them to learn from their mistakes and be better.
