    We are fooling ourselves if we think that by being nice about it we can prevent corrections from sounding like reproofs. Its is only in exceptional circumstances and with the greatest tact that you can correct an adult without to some degree hurting his or her feelings. How can we suppose that children, whose sense of identity or ego or self-esteem is so much weaker, can accept correction equably? I would say that in 99% any child will take correction as a kind of reproof, and this no matter how enthusiastic, pleasant, relaxed, or stimulating we may happen to be.
