Word of genuine appreciation motivates children
to excel.
Experience of being appreciated is
memorable and heightens the zeal to excel. Human mind yearns for recognition
and praise. Invariably parents care for their kids but often find it difficult
to praise them in public or even in private. The reason behind is a pattern of
behaviour learnt while growing up in a family. Their own upbringing denied them an opportunity
to ingrain the art of appreciation in behaviour as praise has not been in the household’s
vocabulary of bringing up a child. Just
unlearn the practice of withholding genuine praise, be specific and promptly
praise, at the right time, your kid for his/her achievement worth appreciation.
The honest compliment received by the kid makes him/her feel important,
generates a warm feeling that brings a natural smile on face and motivates to
go the extra mile.
