Who is doing the act of giving?
You begin to root for a child to give his teachers or parents a taste of their own treacle by turning around to them and saying (in the same saccharine tone of voice), “Good praising!” (Five Reasons to Stop Saying “Good Job!” By Alfie Kohn)
I have two questions to ask.1) What is the subject for the phrase "to give"? Who is doing the act of giving, a child or you?
2) In the phrase "their own treacle", I think, the word "their" refers to teachers' or parents'. Did I understand it correctly?
Could you help me clarify it? Thank you always.
