Therefore, when we utter these words of encouragement to our children, we want to focus on the effort rather than their talent.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8petd\" data-offset-key=\"3a4av-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"3a4av-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"3a4av-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8petd\" data-offset-key=\"5geq1-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"5geq1-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"5geq1-0-0\">The best thing you can do is show them encouragement when they try their best. It doesn\u2019t matter if their abilities are top-notch or above others; they are looking for encouragement at that moment as they put their effort into the task at hand.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8petd\" data-offset-key=\"2dou0-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"2dou0-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"2dou0-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8petd\" data-offset-key=\"3c6dc-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"3c6dc-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"3c6dc-0-0\">Choosing specific phrases to use can also help encourage them. Don\u2019t generalize your words of encouragement too much. Be specific to what they are working to accomplish. If they are painting a picture, for example, focus on the different colors they have chosen rather than just saying good job.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8petd\" data-offset-key=\"4gdfm-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"4gdfm-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"4gdfm-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8petd\" data-offset-key=\"e82i-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"e82i-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"e82i-0-0\">You also want to be careful to avoid giving them TOO MUCH praise. Too much praise can actually result in negative effects down the line. They will begin to think that they no longer have to try to succeed and their self-confidence may be off the charts. Remember, as parents; we are looking to encourage them while making a positive impact.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8petd\" data-offset-key=\"1q90u-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"1q90u-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"1q90u-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8petd\" data-offset-key=\"6dvvs-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"6dvvs-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"6dvvs-0-0\">The praise you offer your children should also be sincere and honest. If the praise you are offering doesn\u2019t feel sincere, then they will likely not feel encouraged at all. The praise is ultimately discounted and can lead to a child to practice self-criticism.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"doqo2-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"doqo2-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"doqo2-0-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-142000000547 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/jersey-village\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/142\/2020\/02\/unnamed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"doqo2-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8petd\" data-offset-key=\"7hf4c-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"7hf4c-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"7hf4c-0-0\">https:\/\/bouncebackparenting.com\/64-encouraging-things-to-say-to-kids\/<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Positive Things to Say to Kids: Encouraging Words for Kids \u00a0 Research has been done to show that the kind of praise that we give to our children can ultimately influence them and motivate them later in life.
