Praise is very important for children.
Parents who notice their child's achievements and "reward" him with positive feedback make the child truly happy.
The boy or girl becomes motivated to act further and achieve new successes.
Criticism is no less important. If mom and dad do not ignore the child's mistakes, then the child strives to correct his mistakes.
But one must act with caution.
Many parents praise and scold their children incorrectly, and then are surprised that their children become indecisive and insecure.
How to Praise and Scold a Child: The Main Rule
The rule is as follows: “You should praise your child in public, but scold him only in private.”
Parental praise in the presence of friends/acquaintances “inspires” the child and makes him even more motivated.
But public criticism disappoints and even frightens the baby.
The child becomes withdrawn, develops complexes, and then begins to be afraid to act.
The child thinks something like this: “What if I make a mistake, and Mom and Dad start humiliating me again in front of other people?”
Moreover, the parents’ habit of publicly criticizing their child negatively affects family relationships: the child begins to trust his mother and father less.
