Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When children succeed at age-specific tasks, they increase their sense of self-worth. Doing everything for a child prevents him or her from becoming proficient at a task. Too much praise makes positive feedback lose its value and gives the child a false sense of mastery. Although peers are important, at age 6, parents influence their children more than do peers.
