Never underestimate the power of smiling! Happy Monday

As mum's, dad's or carer we spend a lot of time building up the spirit and character of our children through praise. We tell them how proud we are of them, how beautiful they look, and how smart they are. We love the little smiles that pop up on their faces when we exclaim: “You played so well on the field today!” (even if they didn’t.)
I agree that praising our kids is OK…to a degree. Admit it, when your boss tell you you’ve done a wonderful job, or your significant other tells you how fabulous you look, you feel like jumping up and down. Why? Because it feels nice on the inside. We feel noticed and respected, even if we don’t truly need the validation.

Our kids might not need as much validation, either. Instead of constantly praising them, we can encourage them through their hurdles and their moments of joy. They are eager to show us their work; they look for comments on how they look; they want to know that we notice them. However, by encouraging them, rather than praising them, we put the emphasis back on them. We’re teaching them that it doesn’t matter what others think, but are they proud of themselves? Do they like the dress they picked out? We’re also starting a conversation with them, rather than giving them empty praise.
Let's have an example

Praise
Child: “Mom, do you like the craft I made?”
Mom: “I love it, great job!”
(The child smiles in delight and moves on. Conversation over.)

Encouragement
Child: “Mom, do you like the craft I made?”

Mom: “I can tell you worked really hard on this! I see you spent a lot of time creating the sunset. What can you tell me about the colors you used?
Now, you and your child are having an in-depth conversation about what they drew and why they drew it, rather than the child seeking your approval and moving on. You’re putting the hard work they did back on them and giving them your attention, rather than a simple thumbs up.

I know this all might sound a little strange, but give it a try! Push yourself to offer more encouragement to your kids so that they can learn to be proud of themselves. Try to focus on the effort and the process of their work and less on the outcome.

Learning from mistakes and errors is an important part of child development.  
Many children grow up in a society that pressures them to be perfect ( to get the highest scores, to land prized scholarships, to get into the best universities) Parents correct or complete children’s homework to improve their grades.They argue with teachers who try to point out a child’s areas of weakness that need improvement.
How does all this focus on testing and perfection affect kids’ learning?  And how can we help them understand that learning from mistakes is part of healthy development?
Why is it Important to Learn from Mistakes?

Whether it involves homework, developing friendships, or playing a sport, learning is enriched through error.  Learning from mistakes is part of how we challenge ourselves to learn to do things differently. It motivates us to try new, innovative approaches to problem-solving. Throughout a lifetime, learning from mistakes helps develop wisdom and good judgment.
So let children to be children and support they learning through mistakes.

Positive words are not always easy for parents or childcare providers to speak, especially during moments when they wish the child were behaving differently. Yet the power of positive words from a supportive growing person is undeniable.
Research suggests that the single most common factor for developing resilience is the presence of at least one supportive adult in a child’s life.
Are you that adult in your child’s life? Do your positive words outweigh your negative ones?
While perfection as a parent is an unattainable goal, the words and tone adults use can tremendously influence a children’s sense of self.
