One of the most important pieces of advice that can be given to parents of children of all ages is this: regularly say warm words to your sons and daughters, do not skimp on praise and sincerely admire them.

What compliments to give to a child

You can praise a child for his good physical shape, beautiful face and smile, grace and agility, etc.

Why is this important?

Thanks to compliments, children develop a strong internal conviction that everything is fine with their body, everything is fine with their appearance.

How will this affect the child in the future?

Over time, the child will likely have to deal with peers whose aggressiveness is increased, while their self-esteem, on the contrary, is lowered.

Such “friends” will almost certainly try to humiliate him in order to thereby raise their own authority.

If a child has no personal boundaries, then he or she takes criticism personally, which eventually develops into insecurity and complexes. Even if parents try to convince their son or daughter that this is not so, they simply will not believe them.

And vice versa: if throughout childhood a little person was told words of support and approval, unfounded accusations will only make him smile and will not be able to disturb his sense of security.
