Of course, children need praise. However, parents should not overdo it.

Praising your baby for every reason is clearly not the best solution.

There is no point in admiring a child who simply behaved normally.

There is no need to give your child gifts or money for every good grade at school or for washing the dishes.

If you praise and reward your son or daughter too often, you will simply spoil the child.

Consequences of frequent praise

The habit of parents to praise their child for every little thing is fraught with the fact that the baby will become dependent on flattery, positive feedback and gifts.

In this case, the child will refuse to help parents, clean their room, or do homework without reward.

The child will become too bold, lazy, demanding and calculating. Selflessness and sincerity will cease to be characteristic of him.

And the first to suffer from the baby’s negative behavioral characteristics will be his parents.

In addition, the child will not receive important knowledge and skills.

Want your little one to remain persistent, hardworking and ready to help? Then don't overdo it with praise and rewards!
