I'm with you! I work with high functioning special ed elementary kids. The experts say with kids that one negative comment can wipe out 14 positive ones! I try to give mostly positive feedback (unless discipline for the safety and functionality of the group is required.) Who knows how many negative comments they have had elsewhere?
