I am not reticent in praise...what does THAT mean?

[charliecat]

I dont praise enough?

"reticent"

" 1. Inclined to keep one's thoughts, feelings, and personal affairs to oneself. See synonyms at silent.
2. Restrained or reserved in style.
3. Reluctant; unwilling."

So I'd say it means you give lots of praise

Why who said that to you then?

Yeah it means you praise a lot - a good thing!

Blooming eck the more I read it the more I confused I got...thank you, my brain may be in back in function tommorow!

Its on a report thingy from nursery.

yes.. it means you give lots of praise!

so... well done you!

Good at praising- needs fresh brain cells

What a funny way to put it though, makes it sound almost negative.

Thats what i thought!

I thought it was a bit pompous - what is wrong with good old fashioned plain English like "you are good at giving praise" [exasperated emoticon]

No it hink it means you over praise

I think coddy's right. "Not negative" isn't the same as "positive" in English!

ask em
then punch em

here

I suspect that could end up replacing or at least rivalling the bat

yaya
better save it to my faves

At work I was once told off for praising my staff for working well- apparently the other team were unhappy they didn't get praise. I think it was not my problem but that of the other supervisor!
