A child knows when you are not sincere, that's why sincere praising is important. Even though it's ugly, it's the child's art work that there is no right or wrong answer. If there is nothing positive to say then better don't say anything or use a different approach such as talking to the child about his art work. As long that no negative statement that will kill the child's confidence/self-esteem is used. Mark, it’s all boil down to how the adult is using their voice when praising or “praising” a child.

Fantastic! Clever boy/girl!" in such an obviously sarcastic sounding (to an adult) tone to praise children. Haha, perhaps I just need more practice.
