Don't just tell me I am wrong! Teach me what is right.

In all tests and examinations, the teachers' markings usually indicate to the students which answers are right and which are wrong. If it stops there, the students would not learn much especially from the mistakes he or she has made. Hence, the idea of ''Correction'' is useful in helping students learn what is right and hopefully after correction, they don't repeat the same mistake.

Usually, we are pretty good at telling others what they have done wrong, but sometimes, those who have done wrong might be clueless about what is the right thing to do, what is the right method to use, what is the right approach to take and so on.

This is especially true in parenting of children. I am sure we have heard parents telling their children, "Don't do this." But, they fail to go one more step to tell them, "You should do this." Children will grow up learning all the things they should not do, but fail to learn what they are supposed to do in a positive way.

So, it is not too helpful to just point out others' mistakes or what they have done wrong but it would help a great deal if we would go one step further and show them what is the right way to take or the right thing to do. Instead of saying, "Don't do this!", it might be more positive and direct to just say, "Do this or do that."
