Flattery and congratulations make them grow with confidence to face life with courage.
5 REASONS TO FLATTER YOUR CHILD
There is nothing more natural than feeling the need to express to your child how wonderful it is: applaud when he can climb the highest slide, give him a good hug when he picks up his room after playing or when he made a beautiful drawing.
Look at the importance of saying a good compliment. Even the most unruly, clueless, or lazy have qualities and behaviors that are positive and praiseworthy, see:
- Because they give the little information about the suitability or not of their behavior and because they are a recognition of their efforts, tell them: “You are becoming a big boy!”, “Today you washed your hands before eating and did it alone.”
- Because they tell him a lot about himself, about himself: “Well done”, “You do it better every time”, “You made a great effort”.
- Because it helps him to know what mom and dad expect from him: «You know what son? Today you have been great in the library trying to speak quietly, I am fascinated that we can go to so many places together ».
- Because everyone needs to know that those they love approve and value their way of being and doing things.
A compliment is one more way of saying “I love you.”
