How should I praise my child?
Make Praise Specific
When giving praise, be specific. Instead of saying “Good job!," say, “You really put a lot of time and effort into cleaning your room.” The same thing applies when reprimending a child for misbehavior. Instead of saying "Quit being bad," say, "Quit teasing the dog." Like all skills, whether it be language, math, or playing baseball, appropriate social behavior also has to be learned. Letting your child know when they did the correct behavior helps them internalize correct ways of behaving.
