OK So I'm going to preface this by saying I don't have kids.
I was at the supermarket a few days ago waiting in line at the checkout and in front of me was a father and his kid.
The kid was sitting in the carriage and he put some item on the belt and his father gushed for at least a minute on how great a job the kid did saying how awesome he was to help and that "Dad couldn't do it without him" etc. And this went on and on for every item the kid placed on the register belt.
Praise is all well and good but doesn't it become toxic at some point?
