If you want your child to one day become a successful and wealthy person without psychological problems, then you need to build the upbringing process as correctly as possible.

For a period of time, there was a popular message that children needed positive support from their parents in the form of praise.

Many took these recommendations from experts literally and began to praise children for every basic action.

Why this is an incorrect model of education

Devaluation

If you praise children for something unremarkable, it devalues all other deserved praise. Therefore, do not "praise" every step of the child.

Inadequate self-esteem

A child whose every step is celebrated by his parents as a great achievement begins to live in the illusion that he has no equal in anything.

However, sooner or later he will have to interact socially with other children. In this case, an unreasonably high self-esteem will cause a lot of harm.

Lack of development

The child will not understand why he needs to study, develop and hone his skills if he is already incredibly developed and talented.

Therefore, it is always worth understanding that even kind words spoken with good intentions can do more harm than good.
