There's a Better Way to Parent: Less Yelling, Less Praise When Michaeleen Doucleff met parents from around the world, she encountered millennia-old methods of raising good kids that made American parenting seem bizarre and ineffective.
One of the craziest things we do is praise children constantly. When I was first working on the book, I recorded myself to see how frequently I praised my little girl, Rosy, and I noticed that I would exaggeratedly react to even her smallest accomplishments, like drawing a flower or writing a letter, with a comment like "Good job!" or "Wow! What a beautiful flower!"
This is insane if you look around the world and throughout human history. Everywhere I went, I don't know if I ever heard a parent praise a child. Yet these kids are incredibly self-sufficient, confident, and respectful - everything we want praise to do, these kids already have it, without the praise.
It's hard to cut back on praise, because it's so baked in, but later on, I decided to try. It's not that there's no feedback, but it's much gentler feedback - parents will smile or nod if a child is doing something they want. I started doing that, and Rosy's behavior really improved. A lot of the attention-seeking behavior went away.

Four months later and more than 1,500 miles away in Mumbai, India, trains shut down and the stock market closed as the power went out in a city of 20 million people. Now, a new study lends weight to the idea that those two events may well have been connected - as part of a broad Chinese cybercampaign against India's power grid, timed to send a message that if India pressed its claims too hard, the lights could go out across the country. |
Why Toppr had to sell to Byju's -- the inside story
Toppr was growing, but not quickly enough; it had revenues but they were not large enough. And it has never been profitable. Given this it had to either keep raising money or get taken over. This is the story of how Toppr was gobbled up by Byju's, pieced together by weaving disparate strands from investors, competitors, people inside the two companies, and others. |
Editor's Note: The directive has come after two contempt petitions by Make-MyTrip (MMT) in the last two months against rival HappyEasyGo (HEG) in the court. The pleas were to stop HEG from using MMT-related keywords to appear on top of search results. The case was first filed in May 2018. But the recent contempt notices were slapped again after finding HEG was still using MMT-related keywords to boost its visibility in search results. |
