Praise A Preschooler

Praise A Preschooler

• Positive parenting can help your child become self disciplined. You must notice and promote the kind of behaviour you want.
• Do this by praising children, smiling and telling them what you liked. But be careful, the way you give praise can sometimes sound negative. For example, 'You're working very well today' (sounds as though you usually expect your child to behave badly).
• Children need to learn how to behave because it is the right thing to do not because it gets them attention.
• Praise works wonders.
• Catch your child being good for example brushing teeth without being asked.
• Be firm but fair.
• Show you love and appreciate them. Children need to feel loved for themselves, not just the things they do well.
