Too much praise can backfire and, when given in a way that's insincere, make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents’ praise has put them. （2019浙江卷；写作·读后续写）
过多的表扬可能会适得其反，而且如果表扬的方式不真诚，会让孩子害怕尝试新鲜事物，或者不敢冒险，因为他们害怕不能处于父母的赞扬把他们推到的那个顶尖位置。

难点突破
时间状语从句when given in a way that's insincere中，“when+过去分词”中的过去分词为被动语态的省略，完整句子为when too much praise is given in a way that's insincere；该从句中又包含了一个that引导的定语从句，修饰way。
