Many people are familiar with the recommendations of positive pedagogy regarding how to raise children.
It is recommended, for example, to constantly praise children and point out their strengths.
There is nothing wrong with this, but it is important to understand that a child's abilities should be assessed objectively.
Why is this important?
Many people know that a child needs to believe in themselves, so parents do not skimp on compliments and kind words. Children begin to believe in their own uniqueness, talent and outstanding abilities.
However, sooner or later they will have to face reality, in which there are other guys. They may turn out to be more talented.
As a result, the child may experience strong disappointment in himself and the parents who “lied” to him.
Experts note that it is important to develop adequate self-esteem in children: it should not be underestimated or unreasonably overestimated.
Therefore, try to be objective in assessing your child's abilities. They can always be improved if you initially soberly assess the children's capabilities.
