I think that this thread is going to be people who have kids with one answer vs those without kids.
Ill use 7 as the magic age however really do not know as I do not have any kids. Someone with kids can chime in as to when they really knew the difference between trying and just going through the motions. I would praise my child over everything before this magic age. Once he passes my so called magic age I would want him to understand that I know the difference between hard work and a effort vs barely getting through it if at all.
