Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I tell my kid "good job" all day and it doesn’t seem to change anything
• Every idea I come up with, I shoot down as unrealistic before it can go anywhere, so I never escape the sensible little box
• We used to have our own little language
• A term jumps out as familiar so I assume I know what it means
• I keep hitting my targets and checking the boxes, and it keeps leaving me weirdly hollow

Practices that may help

1. Plan–Do–Study–Act: Deming’s Loop for Personal Improvement
   The Plan–Do–Study–Act (PDSA) cycle is a four-step iterative method developed by W. Edwards Deming: form a hypothesis, run a small test, study what actually happened, then act on the lesson before cycling again. Originally industrial, it applies directly to personal skill-building: it replaces vague "try harder" with small, testable experiments and forces honest assessment of results.
2. Use descriptive praise instead of generic approval
   Tell the child exactly what they did right so they know what to repeat.
   Triple P Parenting (Matthew Sanders)
3. Pu: Taoist Simplicity and the Uncarved Block
   Pu (朴, "uncarved block") is a central image in Laozi’s Tao Te Ching representing a state of original simplicity — potential uncluttered by excess conditioning, opinion, and accumulated complexity. As a practice, pu means deliberately returning to essentials: stripping away unnecessary complexity in decisions, possessions, commitments, and inner speech to restore natural responsiveness.
4. Provocation (PO): make a deliberately absurd statement to escape the pattern
   Prefix an impossible or absurd idea with "PO" to signal it is a provocation, not a proposal — then follow it to see what it unlocks.
   Lateral Thinking, Made Practical
5. Peg System Mnemonics, Made Practical
   The peg system links numbers (or abstract items) to vivid, pre-memorized "peg" images, then fuses new information to those images through bizarre mental pictures. Evidence for the method is primarily mechanistic and practitioner-reported — direct RCT data are limited, but the underlying memory principles (elaborative encoding, dual coding) are well supported.
6. GIVE: DBT’s Skill for Preserving Relationships During Difficult Conversations
   GIVE — Gentle, Interested, Validate, Easy manner — is a DBT interpersonal effectiveness skill developed by Marsha Linehan for keeping relationships intact during difficult exchanges. While DEAR MAN focuses on getting what you need, GIVE focuses on how you show up so the other person remains willing to engage with you over time.
7. Cultivating complicity: shared secret aliveness
   Build a private world of in-jokes, gestures, and references that only you two share.
   Mating in Captivity: Sustaining Desire in Long-Term Relationships
8. Source monitoring
   When you feel you know something, also ask yourself where you learned it and how recently.
   Feeling of Knowing: Why Your Confidence Misleads You
9. Build meaning through contribution rather than achievement (meaning pillar)
   Orient your work toward what it does for others, not just what it earns you.
   Seligman’s PERMA Model, Made Practical
10. Reduce reliance on relationship shorthand in high-stakes moments
    Save the code language for low-stakes moments; use full sentences when it matters.
    Closeness-Communication Bias
