How Smart Parents Praise Their Children: Experts Reveal the Main Secrets
19.09.2023 19:28
Some parents are "stingy" with kind words for their children, as if they are afraid that after this the child will stop achieving success.
Others simply praise incorrectly.
Praise should actually be as correct and appropriate as possible, otherwise it will do much more harm than good.
How Smart Parents Praise Their Children
Only for something worthy
Don't underestimate your praise: if you react extremely violently to every step your child takes, he will quickly understand that your words are worth nothing.
Praise should only be given for what really deserves attention.
Explanation or argumentation
It will not be enough to simply call the child a good boy and go on with your business: children will not appreciate such an approach. Praise should not only be sincere, but also reasoned.
Note what exactly you see as the child’s merit, what qualities helped him achieve the result, and show your personal attitude to this, experts recommend.
Must not be mixed with teachings
Some particularly diligent parents, even when their child has done something well, will not forget to remind them of past mistakes.
This is not the way to do things.
Otherwise, the child will be left with mixed feelings from such praise, far from pleasant.
