Dad Tip of the Day: Accomplishments
Dad tip of the day: Celebrate kids’ milestones and accomplishments, but don’t go overboard!
It is important for kids to be recognized for when they do something unique or accomplish something significant. Giving them recognition and praise helps build their self-esteem and motivates them to do more and greater things.
Caution should be exercised and rewards should be commensurate with the efforts involved. There is a crazy trend here in the USA to have large “graduation parties” when kids graduate kindergarten – that is just crazy! If something is challenging and there are significant obstacles to overcome, then a noteworthy celebration makes sense. However, to overblow things may create egos or a sense of entitlement that is not justified and may be hard to correct later in life.
However, when it comes to little things, celebrate in fun and unique ways that continue to motivate the kids. Here is a picture of my son Jacob, who finally was able to get his building to stand up by itself without accidentally knocking it with his construction vehicles or clumsy hands. This was a big deal to him as he had made multiple attempts and continued to knock down the structure he was making. My wife and I encouraged him to keep trying, and then heaped kind words and praise on him when he was able to make it happen. As you can see, he is quite happy about it:
Affirming hard work and marking milestones is a good way to encourage kids, but doing it in ways that make sense and are appropriate are also important to keep in mind!
Thank you for stopping by!

Yes, appreciations are really vital aspect for the development of self esteem and also it's an aspect of encouragement too.
And yes, we have to take care how we are celebrating and how that will be impacted means, some people get the idea from small age that, whatever i want i will get that, means this attitude should not be born because otherwise they will not going to value the hard work.
And when children gets the appreciations for their effort then for sure, this aspect can make them happy and it encourage them to good things.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
It is so important to make sure that these recognitions are balanced and that they don't go too overboard. It is funny that you mention the graduation parties. As a grade 8 teacher, we have a graduation every year for our leaving students going to high school. It is wild to see how overboard some of the families go. This year we had a student come to grade in a $500 dress. I couldn't believe it. What on earth are they going to wear to prom??
Dad's tip of the day: Celebrate the achievements and achievements of children, but do not go overboard!
A very useful advice the truth is to know how to celebrate these achievements motivates them to continue growing and learning but if you are certainly right you have to do it with caution it is not good to give much of this
Great advice, I always thank you
Encouraging the little ones can motivate them to always have a positive mentality and never give up. They are curious, they like to experiment with things around them, so it is good to supervise what they do and be able to give them a good recognition when they achieve their goals.
