Take a recent example. Practitioners keep asking young children to do 'good looking, good sitting and good listening'. There is not any other field of life where people do 'good listening' - I think generally people are described as listening well, or listening carefully. It is the same with 'good sitting'. People generally sit still, or they fidget and generally move about. It is rare to be complimented on how well you sit. At least 'good looking' sounds like the English the rest of the world speaks, though it should be used with some care beyond the nursery gate.
Does it matter that children are being talked to in odd ways? Perhaps not. Children are resilient, and this is probably mostly washing over them. I doubt nursery children go home and compliment family members for 'good looking' at the television, or 'good sitting' on the sofa.
