Feedback Strategies
A lot of my high school career was filled with feedback. Every time I auditioned for a play, or did a scene in class, or performed anything in front of my director, I had to have my peers and instructors give me constructive criticism. I am very sensitive, and if anyone says anything mean to me it makes me cry so I really understand the importance of making your feedback a good mix of positivity and help. In high school one of my directors yelled at me until I cried for something I could not control, and I will never forget it even though he said positive things to me too. Basically, when I give feedback I don't want to be like my mean director, I want to be helpful and not make people feel like garbage.
The first article How to Give Feedback Without Sounding Like a Jerk was actually very helpful to me. I really liked how it gave you specific sentences to say. When you ask someone if you can give them feedback, it lets them prepare and be open to change and I really like that. If you start off complimenting someone then going into criticism it just makes the person feel like the compliments were not genuine in the first place.
This article was about what kinds of messages help kids grow. I like this article because it tells you good ways to praise kids (and people) without being too generic. I think praise is important and I disagree with people who say we should stop praising kids for little things. This article explains how to say your compliments and messages in a way that promotes growth. Instead of just saying Good Job, you say Good Job for blah blah blah. Being specific shows that certain actions correlate with success and it's not just random.
