Many people forget how important a role proper praise plays in the upbringing process.

If you learn to praise children correctly, you will be able to achieve more successful development of the child.

Why should we praise not for talents, but for efforts and diligence?

If you simply praise a natural gift, then children will relax and stop striving for anything. This greatly hinders the path to harmonious development.

Children understand that nothing is impossible for them: if they work hard enough, they can achieve anything.
