It seems to be a bad idea to me to deliberately inflate the self esteem of children. If they are smart they notice the gaslighting, if they are not they develop impostor syndrome. Both undermines their ability to properly judge and regulate their relationship to the world.

Replying to @jbs194
The whole notion of “praise” (and especially the perverted concept of “celebration”) is fucked up. Just give others the feedback that you wish for yourself, and I hope you have enough integrity that you realize that you want the most honest and sincere feedback you can get.
