When others compliment your son on how handsome, as a parent, you must feel very happy and proud in your heart. But how do you respond in a way that is both polite and appropriate? Here are some emotionally intelligent ways to respond that you can show humility and gratitude while accepting compliments.
1.Express your appreciation.
When someone compliments your son on how handsome, you can simply and sincerely express your gratitude. For example: "Thank you for the compliment, I'm glad you liked him." Or, "I am very happy and honored to hear you compliment him." Such a response is both an expression of gratitude and a feeling that your compliment has been recognized.
2.Praise each other.
When responding to compliments from others, you can also praise them appropriately. For example: "Thank you for the compliment, you are so discerning." Your little ones must be outstanding too! Or, "I'm so glad to hear you compliment him." Your child must be cute and handsome, too! Such a response makes the other person feel that you are a person who is good at appreciating the good in others, and at the same time, it also makes the other person feel that you are humble and friendly.
3.Pay attention to the other person's feelings.
When others compliment your son on being handsome, you can also pay attention to the other person's feelings and show that you understand and appreciate the other person's compliment. For example: "Thank you for the compliment, I'm glad you liked him." He is indeed handsome, but more importantly he is kind and polite. Or, "I'm so glad to hear you compliment him." I know he still has a lot to improve, but I'll do my best to help him grow into a good person. Such a response not only shows your gratitude, but also makes the other person feel that you are a person who cares about the feelings of others, and it also shows that you educate and care for your son.
4.Understated response.
If you don't want to let other people's compliments make your son complacent, you can also choose to respond in a low-key way. For example: "Thank you for the compliment, but I hope he works harder to learn and grow." Or, "Thank you for the compliment, but I think the inner quality is more important than the outer looks." Such a response can remind the son not to care too much about his appearance, but to pay attention to his inner qualities and cultivation.
In short, when others compliment your son on being handsome, you should respond appropriately and politely as a parent. Show humility and gratitude by expressing gratitude, complimenting the other person, paying attention to the other person's feelings, or responding in a low-key manner. At the same time, we should also be careful not to let the praise of others make my son proud and complacent, and remind him to pay attention to his inner qualities and cultivation. This will not only make the other person feel your politeness and humility, but also set a good example for your son.
