The evaluation role
Feedback that builds people up.
Our kids do not just speak — they evaluate each other. Observe the speech carefully, then give a short verbal evaluation using the approach: Praise → Suggest → Encourage. One to two minutes.
PRAISEWhat did I like?
SUGGESTWhat can be improved?
ENCOURAGEWhy should the speaker keep speaking?
