It’s easy to feel proud and show affection for our children when they learn something new or behave wonderfully. These are the moments when affection flows naturally, and we say things that give them great self-confidence.
Watching our children do what we expect of them is, without a doubt, one of the most gratifying parts of being a parent. The problem is that as they get older, we get used to their progress and stop paying attention to the many good things they do every day.
Don’t Overlook Their Daily Achievements
Without realizing it, we often reserve our attention and comments only for moments when a child does something wrong. This is a common mistake. Focusing on paying more attention to all their daily achievements is a powerful strategy to encourage a child to give their best.
Casual but continuous recognition from parents makes a child feel loved, seen, and valued. This motivates them to keep listening and learning from you. Unconditional love and support are the foundation for a child to thrive.
With love, Pepa
