Is it possible to praise my child too much? (727)

Using praise & criticism to encourage the behaviour you want to see.
About this Event

"Whenever I try to tell my daughter how to do things properly she gets really upset. Why?"
"I praise my children all the time but they never learn"
"My son hates it when I say "well done" I am trying to be nice"

Being a parent is about teaching and encouraging our children to learn how to behave and do things properly.

We seem to spend a lot of time telling our children what to do and what not to do but we still see behaviour we don't like.

There is an old parenting adage that says that "we see the behaviour we pay attention to"

So how can we encourage our children effectively?

This online session will give you practical solutions and help you to understand:

What we are trying to achieve when we criticise
How praiseand criticism are linked to behaviour
How praise and criticism feel
What effective praise looks like
How to give feedback
