Good Schoolwork? Doing well in Examinations? Winning in sports?
Passing grades in Naat competitions ?
Well done !
It's important to congratulate 🎊 your child for tiny mini achievements. May be you encourage the child for being awake for Fajar Prayers with out your help.
Appreciation works as an essence.
When a child is doing something better , he has a feeling to being recognised for the specified job he is doing to make things better, your kind notice , words, gestures can really let the child felt for the best.
I know a small girl who really struggles to behave well . She wants to, but she is full of frustration and angst that it doesn't seem possible to be good sometimes. She always think that things will gone at worst. She always think that whenever am going to do anything good it itself turns into something worst. Its a dilemma . She has this thought in her mind either she has been compared from people most of the time or its lack of appreciation that she couldn't make it the best.
The things you praise or reward your child for telling them a lot about what you believe is important in life. It helps create their values.
So if you always praise high achievements, academic prowess , winning , success even not only these but being runner up is itself an important achievement. If you praise progress , putting effort , perseverance, progress, integrity and most of all honesty -that's what you children will grow up believing in.
And for sure you need a mix. Blend of encouragement and acknowledgement.
There are certain things by which a child can flourish.
