Attaboy!

"Atta boy!" is just a term used to praise and encourage someone's efforts.
We may use it with pets, boys and girls, especially when they are small and learning to walk and do other things on their own:

e.g. "Attaboy, Adam. You can do it! Mama's big boy!"

It is still used when they're a little older and, of course, humorously among adults.

KUDO - KUDOS

"Kudos" are given when you want to formally recognize or thank someone. It's a word often used in the business world but is seldom used in conversation.

Also, you usually see it in its plural form (kudos)
