This has been controversial in the last few years. Not TTL specifically, but self-esteem in children. Some fear that by giving praise, they become praise junkies and unless you bring out the whole cheerleading squad for a refrigerator art project, they get hurt.
And, alas, while TTL (and positive self-esteem) is great for the TTL community - sometimes in life -- it ain't a TTL world and you don't get praised for your non-winning attempts.
My philosophy with my children is to always give them praise. I don't know when they would be ready to hear the whole TTL pitch, but ballpark, I would guess late elementary school. By middle school, they are rebels without a clue and slaves to their hormones and won't listen to anything you say anyway.
So...I vote for 4th grade (9-10 years old)..even though I took a really long time to say that....
