We want to share this very interesting article from Judy Willis, M.D, M.E.d in ParentToolKid.com that talks about how praising our children can be more challenging than we think. While we praise our children, we should focus more on abilities, progress, effort, promoting more perseverance, and self awareness of their capabilities.
“If their identities are so connected to an outcome (like grades), they can become fearful to disappointing you and of not living out to your high expectations” – Judy Willis
We recommend you to read this article to know how you can plan your praise in order to be sincere and help your child be more confident and aware of their effort and progress.
