No praising?

I agree with Rachel here. Too many choices, too much false praise and too often (and I am from Canada lol).

Just a side note - not saying this is you but something to maybe think about. My daughter has dance class one evening a week. In the waiting room is another mom who runs a preschool in town. She drives me crazy when we are there - she does the baby type talk in the high pitched voice and is constantly saying good for you, awesome, constantly praising her child as well as other kids there dancing and in the waiting room. It grates on everyone's nerves (I can see some parents snicker and roll their eyes).

Maybe you are overdoing it with mom there for 30-40 minutes? Also why is she there that long? I personally never allow that.
