So, it is not different with people of any age.

My sister reads at church from time to time. She is not bad but still needs some work.

Here is mom (which is exactly like some of you): You need to talk louder. You need to talk just a little slower.

My dad: You did a fine job.

So, there. Negative reinforcement. And positive reinforcement.

Actually, "You need to talk a little louder. and a little slower", for any kind of public speaking would be constructive criticism, whereas "You did a fine job." to someone who didn't - where the general consensus is that they need to speak differently - would be negative reinforcement.

Context and point of view, Loke

Seriously though - If we were on GetDare to be 'scored', we'd just go back to school, né?
