Effective Ways to Praise Good Kids
Choosing Appropriate Forms of Praise
There are many ways to praise good kids, from simple words of praise, stickers, small gifts to more formal recognition such as awarding flags or certificates. The important thing is to be appropriate for the age and personality of each child. For example, with shy children, a gentle, caring compliment will be more effective than public praise. Conversely, for active children, being recognized in front of a group will be a great motivation for them to continue trying. According to Vietnamese spiritual beliefs, proper praise also helps children “grow in fortune and prosperity,” and encounter good luck in life.
Specific and Genuine Praise Content
When praising good kids, it is necessary to clearly state the child’s good behavior, for example, “Baby Nam was very good today, he knew how to tidy up toys neatly,” instead of just writing generally “Good baby.” This helps children understand clearly what they are being praised for and will continue to develop it. You can also refer to images of etiquette for preschoolers.
Coordination with Family
Coordination between school and family in educating children is extremely important. Share with parents about their child’s progress at school and encourage parents to continue to encourage and praise their children at home. Refer to the kindergarten emulation scoring sheet for more ideas.
