The power of proper encouragement
What kinds of encouragement are effective?
More ways of positive encouragement:
To build their self-confidence
You should be proud of yourself!
I believe in you. I have faith in you.
To help them when they face difficulties
Keep going - you can do it.
That’s a tough one, but you’ll figure it out.
To encourage them to be brave in trying new things
You seem to really enjoy “activities” .
I know that was a new thing for you - excellent try!
