What's the right way to praise a kid's skills?

I have a four-year-old who is extremely artistic. She loves drawing, and (in my completely biased way, of course) I think her drawings are amazing.Of course I've been telling her that her pictures are amazing, and we keep a good number of them, and she proudly shows off her drawings.The other day I heard her say to her friend "I am the best best best best a-hundred-times-best artist." Of course we've never said anything like that to her, but naturally I started to worry about how I praise her. I worry that:It's going to her head (wondering what is a "healthy" ego and what isn't)She thinks being artistic is innate, that you're either an "artist" or you aren't.Do I need to lay off the praise? Do I need to make her think critically about everything she does -- to tell me what she likes and doesn't like about stuff? Do I need to stop worrying about it? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2xD3How
