Teach kids to become Positive Commenters

Parents lets teach our kids to pass comments in positive terms. When from young this is what they heard and how they are trained, InsyaaAllah, they will grow-up to be a person who are very careful and wise before uttering their comments. Positive comments are not only nice to hear; it also gives direction and encouragement. It makes a situation comfortable and conducive. A situation or issue may initially be in a negative/bad form, but a positive commenter can still give a positive critic/comment that does not make the other person feels bad or numb. It is professionally stated. The shortcomings of the other person's work is stated in terms of the work not the person (i.e., does not like how weak the personal is). On the contrary, negative comments are not just sickening to hear; it's undermining and makes the commenters look and sound arrogant. There's a possibility too that negative commenters have their own personal issues internally, e.g., inferiority (like want to show off that they know when in reality they don't quite know), or emotionally unstable (like they don't look that good - too short, too tall, too skinny or too fat, don't like their own body, etc). In sum, parents will need to remember that 'a child who grow-up hearing positive comments, will turn-up to become positive commenters as adult."
