I love this post for multiple reasons. The first is the idea. When you continuously give people positive feedback their self confidence increases. My son is afraid of the dark, I am gong to have to come up with a name to reinforce how brave he is in the dark.
The second reason is Calvin and Hobbs! When I was in university with @lukestokes we had stumbled on a website that had the entire series published on comic at a time. This may seem like no big deal now but in the 1998 there weren't a lot of websites dedicated to these things. I believe we read the entire series and would share the ones that made us laugh (which was many).
