Life skills 5-DON’T OVERPRAISE

We like to praise our children when they do well, but this can sometimes go too far. Self-confidence takes time, and when parents shower praise on their kids for every little thing, they can set the bar too low and keep the child from pushing to do better

Praise when something great happens, but save your praise for that special occasion.

In our martial arts classes, we make sure to praise our young students when they perform a move correctly, or take the initiative to help their fellow students. However, we also focus on making sure that this happens in a controlled environment, where discipline and respect is emphasized
