There are some techniques for praising your child and when you use your words wisely its effectiveness become more powerful

 

When should be Praised?

It is also important that when do you give your child a praise.

Your praise should be given immediately after you catch your child doing something good. It will increase the effectiveness of your praise. They will notice that you give attention to them, that creates more excitement for them and they try to do that work with more engagement and perfection.

For example, when your child playing nicely by themselves with toys, says with a gentle voice, ‘darling, you are playing so nicely with your toys, I love to watching you like this’. Praising instantly makes child more focused as they know why they are being praised. They know very well that the behaviour done by them earns rewards in form of praise. They are likely to repeat that behaviour more often.

 

Don’t praise them too much

It is important to praise your child even though you have to be careful to not praising too much. There are lots of side effects of over praising. It will make your child frustrated and overwhelmed as by over praising they feel more pressurised to be perfect. The pressure of complete task makes them anxious and fear of failure affects their performance. Make sure that your praise does not create feeling of stress. In other words, ‘too much praise is equal to too much stress’.

When you notice that a specific good behaviour appears continuously, encourage them in the form of praising words to make efforts to go outside of their comfort zone. For instance, you see that your toddler is good to colouring the picture then encourage them to draw something like flowers, moon, or sun etc.

Children are very sensitive as you can make strong impression of your words in their mind to make them optimistic and self-esteem. Pay attention to the little things that they are doing; sometimes a small thing can do huge transformation.

 Your praise can make strong impression on their mind; it all depends on your words that how would they develop mindset and personality. So, whenever you praise them choose your words wisely and always speak in a gentle voice. Your tone of voice plays a big roll to make your praise more effective.
