One minor point in response to some posters» examples — my understanding is that true
description doesn't include «evaluative» words like
excellent, great, or «Nice job doing X.» I find myself echoing her actions out loud a lot e.g., «you're putting the dress on that doll,» «you're making red circles,» «you stacked the blocks so high,» etc. and
really trying not to verbalize my point of view per se.
