It is not the British way to encourage. We tend to attempt to "encourage" a person by indicating faults and areas for improvement rather than encouraging the good attributes in a person.
We watched a soccer game, we have of course watched many soccer games but this one is special. We learnt an important lesson. Our son set up an intricate plan for a goal. he also made some rather inept moves.
As we were walking off the field preparing to admonish him for his negligence his coach congratulated him on his intellectual contribution to the game.
Our lesson was received. I hope we have learnt it though I am sure there is still planty of room for practice.
