In Xiao Lei's growth process, his mother always used various rewards to motivate his progress. However, parenting experts remind us that the ways and means of rewarding children are important, and improper rewards can backfire or even turn into bribes for children. So, how do you reward a child properly?
First, the reward should be an affirmation of the child's concrete, substantial positive behavior, rather than a random promise or random given. When a child does something beyond his or her ability or difficulty, he or she can be rewarded appropriately so that the child feels that his efforts and achievements are recognized.
Secondly, the reward does not always have to be money or material, and the spiritual reward allows the child to cherish the warmth and love of his parents. A hug, a word of encouragement, and a letter of praise can make children feel noticed and recognized, and stimulate their inner motivation.
Finally, parents always remember that the purpose of rewards is to promote the child's self-satisfaction and virtue fulfillment, not to satisfy one's own preferences or requirements. The right rewards can help children build a positive self-image and self-esteem, and develop self-discipline and self-confidence.
Therefore, don't let the reward become a bribe, and motivate your child's growth correctly. Let's use love, attention, and appropriate rewards to guide children to grow up healthily, so that they can go further and further on the road of self-confidence, self-discipline, and self-realization.
