Hello @justjoy (what a lovely user name!) :)
I’m so pleased to hear you found this post interesting. Especially ecause you’re a teacher! Thank you for taking the time to let me know this. The rationale presented by developmental psychologists is similar to yours: “it makes a child lazy.” It is largely argued that the child can easily fall into the belief: Well, if I’m already a the best. Why try harder?
It’s true! It’s about balance! :)
Thank you once again for stopping by,
Best,
Abigail.
