I’ve read somewhere it is best to praise kids for their actions vs their qualities. So you’d praise a kid for being hard working or studious, not smart. It’s crazy how what we think are just nice compliments can put people under tremendous pressure to fulfill your expectations.

As a side note, what’s the deal with Cortados? I feel like I haven’t even heard the term until this year, and now it has started popping up in coffee shop menus all around. Has it been gaining popularity or it’s just my imagination?
