Imagine the most famous person you know, Michael Jordan, Britney Spears, Prince William. Now think of this: Not one of them is as famous as Helen Keller was in her day.

Back in the late l$00s, nobody believed that blind or deaf people could lead normal lives. Most were sent away from their homes.

They lived in schools that were more like prison than places to learn and grow. Few people believed that a person who was both blind and deaf could ever learn to communicate. But Annie Sullivan believed she could teach 7-year-old Helen Keller language.

When Annie first met Helen in 1887, Helen was wild and angry. She spoke by grunting (咕哝) and screaming. Nobody, not even Helen's parents, believed Annie would succeed. And when she did succeed, news of this miracle (奇迹) spread far.

Helen often said that she had spent her early childhood in a "dungeon (地牢) of silence" and loneliness. Freed from this dungeon by Annie, Helen blossomed. By the age of lO, Helen was able to write and read Braille. In addition to English, Helen also learned French and Greek: She even learned to talk clearly enough so that Annie could understand her.

She became an author, writing 13 books and hundreds of articles. She and Annie traveled around the world. She learned to ride a horse and a bike. When she died, just before her 88th birthday, she had become one of America' s great heroes.

"Life," Helen once said, "is either a daring adventure or nothing".

Praise is a powerful tool but many parents have misconceptions about what it does and how it works. Praise encourages motivation and confidence, but a surprising number of people think it' s the cause of jealousy, laziness and resentment. What are the most common assumptions about praise?

"There's no need to say anything. "

If things are going well, you may think there' s no need to say anything. This attitude can be summed up as " if I don' t say anything, then everything' s OK". What this really means is "I' ll only say something when there is something to criticize".

"If I say ' well done' , they' 11 stop trying. "

Do you think that if you compliment your children they' 11 slack off? If we are praised for a job well done, it generally encourages us to do better, not worse. The disappointment we feel when good work is not recognized gives rise to the feeling "why should I bother if nobody notices?"

"If I praise one, the others will be jealous. "

If you are honest and fair in your praise and recognize the special talents of each child, they won' t resent praise given to their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Each will feel valued for the unique individuals they are. Children who feel good about themselves are usually generous in their praise of other people. Never use praise of one as a way of implicitly ( 含蓄地 ) criticizing another. For example,"you' re always so cheerful..." with its implied message " ...unlike your moody brother".

"What if there' s nothing to praise?"

There is always something to praise. You have to catch your child doing something right. Have a positive attitude to the things he does and remember the praise must always be genuine. Your child will quickly sense when you are lying.
