Do certain people actually think school children are helped by being told they are "special" all the time?

Be kind but firm with your children. They need to know the rules, but they also need to know that they are loved by their parents no matter what. They don't need punishment, they need to learn how to handle situations appropriately. Why set up kids for failure so they can know failure? They will fail on their own, so set them up for success and keep the self esteem high, even when they fail. They will be able to handle failure better that way.
