At the End of Your Rope, There's Hope Quotes

“Make your praise specific, not "You're a great poet," but, "I love that line about green hair the color of Sprite cans." Sweeping compliments are often dismissed by teenagers and can make them feel the pressure of unrealistic expectations. When you respond specifically to something concrete they have already done, they can really take it in.”
― Susan Noyes Anderson, At the End of Your Rope, There's Hope : Parenting Teens in Crisis
