05.12.2023 10:14
Parents should not ignore their child's achievements.
If mom and dad don’t pay attention to the baby’s achievements, he will lose motivation and become insecure.
But you shouldn't overpraise your children either. Some parents say words like "Well done!", "You're the best!", "Amazing!" too often.
There is nothing good about this. In the first case, the word quickly loses its "magic".
In the second and third cases, the child may develop high self-esteem. It will be more difficult for the baby to accept criticism.
To avoid problems, you need to praise your child by saying the following phrases.
"The room is cleaner!"
You don't have to say the word "well done". But it's worth showing and noting the specific result of the child's work.
Explain more often what exactly you liked about your child’s actions.
"You're doing great!"
If there are no noticeable results of the work yet, but you see that the child is trying, be sure to praise him in this way.
"I can imagine how happy you are!"
Did your child get a good grade or win a competition?
In this case, it is worth demonstrating “white envy” and trying to describe the baby’s emotions.
"How did you do it?"
Show your surprise at the results of your child's activities.
The kid will be pleased because he was able to do something that many other children are not capable of.
"Thank you"
And don’t forget about the simplest gratitude for any help from a child.
