5 Simple Ways To Encourage Your Child

5 Simple Ways To Encourage Your Child

Children are at an age where they need lots of love and
encouragement to grow up into healthy young adults.
You need to encourage them to develop their own
thoughts and opinions. So here are a few ways you could
use to encourage your children.

One of the first few things you could do is acknowledge
their efforts. Most of the time, when we give our children
household responsibilities we always forget to let them
know that they have done a great job in it. If they didn’t
perform their task very well, don’t go straight for the
negative criticism. Tell them that they did put in a good
effort and give a suggestion in a positive manner. A
suggestion given in a kind tone will be taken more
positively by your child.

Secondly, when they have done something great,
remember to thank them. This is positive reinforcement
and will make them proud of the good things that have
done. In addition, you are also cultivating good manners
in your children by being a good role model yourself.

Next, remember not to brush off their problem aside. How
often when your children come home complaining about
something, you just brush them off by saying that it is
nothing? This would make your children feel that their
problems are of a trivial matter and not worth their
parent’s time. Next time, your children would not bother
coming to you with their problem and they will try and
suffer their problem in silence. Instead try listening to
what your children has to say and be supportive of them.

Furthermore, remember to tell always show your love to
your children. Tell them that you love them all the time.
Give them a hug or a good night kiss before they sleep at
night. You would want to encourage your child to grow
up to be loving, healthy adults. If you hardly express your
feelings to them, your children may grow up being cold
and unemotional adults unable to express their feelings.
Your love will provide them the encouragement they need
when they are sad or feeling discouraged.

Lastly, remember to encourage your child’s imaginative
side by having fun. Have activities together with them
and let their imagination take charge so your adults will
grow into fun loving adults. So what are you waiting for,
don’t wait till tomorrow to start encouraging your kids.
Start now!
