Never let it rest,
Until your good is better,
And your better is your best.
An ex-colleague - now friend - of mine used to teach this little chant to her students.
I love it - it is catchy, easy to remember and a good example of positive 'seft-talk' to teach little (and not so) ones.
Receiving feedback that is positive in wording, that provides the recipient with a comparison of how their performance has improved and lets them know you have paid attention to their efforts is highly valuable to little learners.
"That was the highest jump I have seen you do.."
"I noticed you remembered what I told you before your attempt"
"I can see you were trying your best.."
"That was a good/a better/your best attempt"
Happy chanting.
