Content: Children who receive constant, empty praise will lack the motivation to push their limits and go beyond what is expected of them. They also develop a false sense of validation, which Nalin says, collapses when challenges arise. More specifically, haphazardly administering praise to your child may result in less improvement in performance, an increase in learning obstacles, and higher levels of anxiety. 4 ﻿ That’s why Nalin says children who are shown appreciation for their ability to endure trials and errors often acquire lasting confidence that will carry them into adulthood. Wait Before You Offer Help
Kids need a lot of practice in life to learn how to manage themselves and overcome obstacles. So giving them the space to try things on their own before offering help builds their self-confidence. “ Parents should nurture a child’s ability to solve problems as these will inevitably become a regular part of their life,” explains Nalin. While it might be tempting to jump in and rescue your child, doing so will only hinder their ability to take care of themselves. " Children who learn how to problem-solve on their own will be better equipped to handle issues and deal with anxiety in a healthy manner,” he adds. Asking a well-placed question is one way to encourage problem-solving and offer support.
