I like the article and I appreciate the distinction. I am one of those who probably do both. Criticize and guide. Probably a lot of contraction there. I will try to hold on to the distinction and do more guidance. The criticisms mostly come out of frustration which is more my problem than my child’s. But I need to mention that my sense of logic somehow has a problem with the idea of a perfect child being encouraged to improve. This disturbs me only when I read his arguments, but I accept that he is making a valid and valuable distinction and am grateful for the heads-up.

Great article. Finding the right words at the right time has got to be the bedrock of good parenting. I like the simplification into guidance versus criticism. Thanks.
