Hi Parents...How do you feel when your boss, friends, kids, family members and others significant people in your life give you a sincere compliment? I hope really good!! Maybe uncomfortable? There are several reasons that adults may be uncomfortable with compliments. Young children who have parents who see successes in them not only take a compliment well, but they get all sorts of health benefits also. When you see successes, you actually strengthen your childs heart and brain. How healthy does that sound?! No child is perfect and we certainly don't want to give insincere praise...(they're smart enough to see through that) but every child has successes that can be acknowledged. If you're willing to experiment, compliment all the things they do well for a while. See what happens!
Happy Parenting, Isabel
