Praise is a very important part of parenting. From what we are praised and scolded for, we draw conclusions about what is good and what is bad. We get some idea about ourselves and about the world in which we live. Praise - a positive assessment of what we do - can also be a positive assessment of ourselves. If we are praised, we think that we are good, they treat us well, they love us. It is very important for a child to know what he will be judged well for, what actions and actions will help other people treat him well. Praise your child not for an excellent result, but for the efforts made! You need to praise a child only for his real achievements, for what he put his efforts into. This way, you will show your child that you noticed that he tried, even if the result was lower than your expectations. When you notice whether a child is trying or not, he will understand that trying is good, he will be praised for this, he will think about where else he can try, what else he can learn. If you praise a child for a good result achieved without much effort, the child will understand that you can not try and still get a good grade in something. He will look for where it is easier to get approval without doing anything. If you praise a child too often for an easy result, his self-esteem will be higher than his real abilities, and it will be difficult for him to accept criticism addressed to him. It will be very difficult for him to understand that he does not know how to do something and that he needs to make an effort to learn something. When you praise your child, use appropriate words, intonation and gestures at the same time. For example, tell him: “Well done” in a soft, approving tone , smiling and stroking his head. Then it will be clear to him whether he did good or bad; Your attitude towards him and his actions is clear. If you say pleasant words in a sarcastic or insulting tone, it will be difficult for your child to decide whether you like his action, whether he did a good job? Try to always notice when your child is trying. The more often your child receives praise, the more positive attention he receives. The more positive attention he receives, the less he will want to receive negative attention, that is, the less he will want to be scolded, and will try not to do things for which he can be scolded.
