Showing Your Appreciation

If you're a parent, you know what a challenge it is to praise your children as much as you discipline them. That sounds kind of funny, but the truth is, most parents tend to more readily notice bad behavior than good behavior. You want your kids to learn right from wrong, appropriate actions from inappropriate, etc. So, it's natural to see bad behavior or disobedience and rush to correct it, but then take for granted or overlook the good things.

Giving praise, showing appreciation, thanking a child for his work…these are things your kids need to hear as much as they hear your correction. These are gifts you can give that don't cost you more than a minute of your time, and perhaps a little extra effort.
