It was a soccer practice session with my team of 12-year-old girls. I was explaining that we were going to work on a particular skill because they had not done very well with it in the game the day before.
"Well, that's not a very positive way to put it," noted one child, who knows well my penchant for positive reinforcement rather than criticism.
"Ok," I said. "How about: You positively did not do this well during the game. Is that better?"
"That will do," she replied.
