I thought of 2 examples demonstrating how much my boys love verbal praise: they love listening to the teller at the bank drive through praising them. They can't see her, but they swoon hearing her sweet nothings through the intercom. Okay, they also know a treat is coming in the tube.
Second is when we walk in front of the school and tons of kids start screaming, "Puppies! Cute puppies!" My boys consider puppy a term of endearment, so they sit down and act like embarrassed celebrities being showered with affection.
