Moving
up and recognition ceremonies were done by schools to give recognition to deserving
students for obtaining a good grades. For passing the class and moving to the
next level after months of studying their lesson, doing their project, homework,
waking up early going to school, now ends for this school year.
For
those parent with their kids who received medals and recognition at their
schools…CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE… I’m
sure parent are very proud to their kids achievement.
For
those kids did not come up to be included in the awardees …Parent please do not
criticized your child about it, instead be proud of them because they do their
best and give them encouragement to do their best again for the next school year.
Praise,
encouragement and rewards are important to children to motivate them to do
their task properly. It is used to make your child recognized between bad and
good behaviors. When it is properly used.
Encouragement
is used to motivate a child to strive more or improve something.
Rewards
is an award to say “well done to children”, praise and
encouragement work better through reward however it is not good to overuse
reward.
Reward and bribery is not the same. It must be explained to a child
that the reward he/she received is for her good behavior. Do not give reward or
gift even if he/she does not deserved try to discipline child that to make
effort for the reward you gave, but not to inject to his/her mind that he/she
will do good things because he will receive something on it. It is used to help
the child to recognized between good and bad behavior, so that child will
choose to be good and do good things so that good things will come. To let the
child know the result of what he/she does and the result of it.
Here
are some tips how to give Praise, encouragement and rewards to children;
1. Praise your
child when he/she do
something good. The word you say to
your child can build up to have encouragement to do more good things.
2. Praise
your child more than you criticize. Sometime parent
see the mistakes of a child rather than the good things or behavior the child
done. So praise your child more for every good things h/she done then when the
child done wrong explained to him and criticize or say negative but explain
what he/she does and tell the child not to do it again.
3. Accept that everyone’s different. Praise your child for his/her unique strengths and encourage
he/she to develop her particular interests. It will help your child to develop
a sense of confidence and pride.
4. See also for the little changes and success. Look for the success even in simple way. Do not be
perfectionist. Appreciate child little achievement rather than waiting until
your child has done something perfectly to give a compliment, try to praise any
little effort or improvement to your child.
5. Praise your child for their effort as well as
their achievement. Recognized and
praise how hard your child is trying to do the some task.
6. Make your praise dependent on your child’s
behavior. When she do bad things say something about it
do not tolerate a bad behavior and when your child do good things praise him
for doing such.
7. Surprise your child with a reward for good
behavior and achievement. You can give
simple gift and say thank you for his/her initiatives to keep their toys, keep
their bedding, washing their dishes, cleaning the house and helping you do
household chores. A reward not means expensive material things like expensive gadget.
Simple gift can d or maybe a treat to watched movie with family, or eat or
prepared his/her favorite foods. You can
buy want you want for your child but do not overuse rewards for children.
To parent, please do best to teach your
children to realized to have good behavior by using praise, encouragement and
reward properly. No matter how busy we are… So that children will learn that
doing bad things is not good, even at their age. Parent have a very important
role to their children to have a foundation for what behavior a child becomes.
