Well, i think it's okay to praise a child if he does outstanding work in his studies, but don't go overboard or over-exaggerate his achievements, and let him know that he shouldn't be ashamed if he gets it wrong sometimes, because that is all a part of the process of learning. We can't be right all the time, but that we learn from our mistakes.
