Today's Tip is called Compliment Giving Time:
It is important to to teach our children how and when to receive and give compliments. Teaching children to praise each other is part of feeling lovable and capable. Let's remember how we feel when we receive a compliment- it makes us smile and elevates our spirits! For example, as a parent you can say: "I really like the way you take care of Charlie, you always feed him on time, give him fresh water, and take him for long walks. You take excellent care of the dog!"
On the other side of the coin, children can be taught and encouraged to give compliments. Teaching children to give and receive compliments is an important social skill. Eye contact is critical when giving a compliment! You always respond with THANK YOU! You can start by having your child give you 2 compliments per day. This should then branch off to siblings complimenting each other.
Try this simple activity and watch self esteem grow!!!!!
