In this course, you will learn the core theory and practical application of the “Praise and Raise” approach—an educational method designed to nurture children’s self-esteem, independence, and intrinsic motivation. This method is rooted in the belief that meaningful praise, when used thoughtfully and intentionally, can unlock a child’s full potential and help them grow with confidence and joy.

Whether you’re a teacher, parent, caregiver, or anyone who interacts with children, this course will provide you with practical tools and strategies that can be used both in the classroom and at home. You’ll discover how to praise not just outcomes but the process, effort, and character behind each child’s actions.

Through structured tools such as Praise Sheets, Logic Trees, Behavior Checklists, and Dream Boards, you’ll learn to offer praise that is specific, consistent, and developmentally appropriate. These techniques not only help children feel seen and valued, but also guide them toward becoming self-directed, resilient individuals.

This course also introduces the concept of self-praise—helping adults reflect on their own efforts and growth, which is essential for praising others effectively. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to create a praise-rich environment that encourages emotional growth and fosters positive relationships with children.
