I think your husband's approach is right on. It's interesting to see that whenever we discover a strength we didn't know we had we feel more positive and connected. Our own natural motivation gets sparked. Of course, flattery is not the same as honest and sincere recognition of a real demonstrated strength. Perfect Janet!

When a player is aware of her strengths and has had them pointed out to her, she is more likely to use them during a game. It makes perfect sense that this would work the same way in life. It reminds me of a toddler that has pleased his parent with a cute phrase or behavior, the toddler then does it over and over, looking for the same positive reaction. We're all still little kids inside, especially when we're vulnerable.
