When you praise your child, you are pointing out the way they've behaved, an action they've used, or simply who they are. When your child looks good, tell him so. When your child does anything that pleases you, let him know. You should also praise a child's work to do well, even if it doesn't come out so good in the end. You need to find something each day regarding your child to praise.

Look constantly for behaviors or even actions deserving of praise, however don't be over the top about it. Be sincere and honest in your praise. Wait for unexpected or formerly unnoticed good behavior and praise your child for it. And if you notice such action or behaviors, praise immediately so the kid will know exactly what behavior or action was deemed praiseworthy.

It's also very important to look your child square in the eye when you praise him, and reinforce the actual positive behavior, action or even trait being praised having a gesture such as a warm grin, a hug, scruff of the hair, or caress his face as you tell him.

Be exact, and state precisely what action, behavior or trait you find praiseworthy. And most importantly, in no way directly follow praise with criticism or negative comments. Let your child know what they did right and reward them for this before you let them know what they did wrong and punish for misbehaving or a misdeed.

So make sure to admire and congratulate your child and celebrate the good person they are growing into by praising their positive actions, behaviors as well as traits daily. You'll be building a strong sense of self in your child and you'll grow closer as a result.
