Photos of parents publicly shaming their children go viral in an instant. I want to publicly praise my daughter for her hard work on her multiplication facts with me over her Christmas break. Thanks to her persistence, she received a 100% on her 3 minute timed facts test.
At the risk of looking like I’m exploiting my child (I’m not, she is dying to be “famous,”) can praise go viral like shame?
Should I “make” her wear an “I worked hard and got an A+” sign around her neck while I take her out for ice cream? 😉

Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgement. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air.
