Quote

Experts generally agree that taking all opportunities to read books and other material aloud to children is the best preparation for their learning to read.

Young children are unlikely to have their self-esteem strengthened from excessive praise or flattery. On the contrary, it may raise some doubts in children many children can see through flattery and may even dismiss an adult who heaps on praise as a poor source of support-one who is not very believable.
