Is too much praise bad for a student?

[Jason]

On one forum, someone was saying that it caused students to lose focus. Anyway, on the movie Whiplash, the drum teacher never praises the students at all. This seems too extreme for me.

I can agree with you on that. I find that to be right in some way. When you praise the performing child they tend to sit back and relax knowing that they are already good at the studies.

Need to find that right amount, just enough to keep trying but not enough to get relaxed and keep doing what is wrong.
