I have started a page as a Cognitive Hypnotic Parenting Coach, I will be posting small snippets of information about parent-child relationships. Do like and share my page if the page helps you in any way possible.
When you praise your child, know that they are extremely observant. If you use vague compliments like "good job", "welldone" it may work, but sooner or later, the effect that praise should have will reduce.
Effective praise is when you compliment them on specific behaviors that you want to encourage - "you've written this very well, good job" or "well done, your hand writing is so neat", "thank you for listening to me, you're doing really well". Compliments like these show the child that you are actually observing and responding to what they are doing, it is real validation and encouragement for the child.
