Giving your little one praise starting from when they are born could not only make those cute faces smile, but can help them learn as well.

If you focus and give praise for the things they do right they are happy and want to do it again.
Example: "Good job! You kicked the red ball!" or as they get a little bit older, "Wow, this picture looks great! Way to stay in the lines!"

Just saying good job doesn't really say what is it they did well. Be specific as possible so they know what they are doing right.

I believe that just as important as the praise is being aware of unintended negatives like the 'cutesy' nicknames such as 'stinky pants' or 'crazy face' that I have heard from Mom's in the store. -- GGMom

I agree with that. You may think that you are being silly when in fact, it could cause hurt feelings.
