Appreciating your children
July 29, 2009
It is very important to recognize your child’s good behavior. If a child has misbehaved, we give him/her an earful while if he/she behaves we have just one or two words of praise. You may say so what.
If you notice that for bad behavior you have an endless supply of words and for a job well done its good or at the maximum very good though mostly it’s just a grunt and on with it.
This encourages children to behave badly just to get the attention of all people especially their parents. This leads to them being stubborn, adamant, and throwing tantrums.
The first step towards encouraging good behavior in children is to stop discouraging them. Most people are under the impression that pointing out mistakes will enable the children to correct them when it actually discourages them and reduces their self-confidence and worth.
In each situation, you have the option to boost or lower the child’s confidence. Discouraging is when you use demeaning words, put down the child’s action, criticize, humiliate, shout, punish, do the child’s work yourself, spoil him/her.
You encourage the children when you appreciate the work done, help them do their own work, give them more responsibilities, concentrate only on the good behavior, use words of encouragement.
Let the children do things at their own pace rather than expecting them to be at your pace and offer encouraging words every now and then. Do not demotivate them from taking up new challenges saying it’s too difficult for you or you can’t do it.
Praising your children involves words of appreciation, complimenting their work, encouragement and providing support in whatever they do. This will build their confidence and make them complete the task they have started successfully. It is an external form of appreciation.
Encouragement is when your appreciation motivates the children and they wish to do things, as it is good for them. This brings out the growth of the child, increases self-esteem, and confidence and they end up doing things really well.
They realize there may be imperfections but it does not deter their efforts and encouragement wants them to do more and more things.
Be honest and descriptive in your encouragement. This will make them stronger and help them in the long run.
