The expert advised parents to stop praising their children for everything.

There is a fine line beyond which sincere words of support turn into an obsessive attitude. This was announced on Tuesday, May 27, by Marina Mai, founder of the Art Academy educational centers, an expert in the field of intellectual development and early childhood education.

"When a child is praised for every step — "well done, you sat down," "good girl, you took a pencil," "what an artist you are!" — at first he rejoices. But over time, he gets used to the fact that any of his actions must necessarily receive the approval of an adult," the teacher explained in an interview with Gazeta.Ru».

According to her .if the child does not receive praise in the future, it will be perceived as an automatic failure. As a result, the child may lose his support, self-confidence and motivation for development.

"If you notice a habit of praising your child for everything, this is not a reason to scold yourself. This is a reason to stop and start noticing more — not only the result, but the path, not only "good", but also for real," May said.

She stressed that confidence does not grow from dry praise of "well done", but from understanding oneself and the child's belief that he is loved and accepted.
