BUILDING YOUR CHILD’S/ADOLESCENTS COMPETENCE

BUILDING YOUR CHILD’S/ADOLESCENTS COMPETENCE

-When children feel competent they work harder and are more motivated to listen to us.
-We build this by giving lots of praise and guiding them to activities that are within their range of abilities.
-Involve them in daily household activities, such as setting the table, preparing dinner, helping clean up. Praise for great help.

-Determine areas in which they have some natural strength and set up activities in these areas (music, dance, art).
-Praise their effort rather than just their ability.
