Many parents praise their children very often.

The word "well done" is constantly heard addressed to children. And for any reason - even the most insignificant.

It would seem that a child needs to be praised so that he does not lose motivation. In addition, praise allows you to pay attention to a good deed and to the right action on the part of the child.

All this is true. However, parents should not overdo it with the use of the word "well done" in their speech.

Why the word "well done" is dangerous

If a mother or father constantly praises their son or daughter, it will be much more difficult for the child to form their own judgments.

In his behavior, the child will be guided not by specific circumstances, but by the opinion of his parents.

When doing something, the child will begin to think about how his actions will be perceived by adults.

It is possible that a boy or girl will develop self-doubt and will need constant approval from others.

If parents want their child to be more independent, they need to give up the habit of constantly using the word “good boy”.
