My attempt to write something
Several months ago I went to a training session
'How
the Japanese bring up their children
'. I have two small kids and sometimes they give me
a hard time. Even though they are the best children for me.
I have learnt two things at the training that I am using with my kids.
The first one: if I want
my kid to develop a good habit I should praise him
with three steps: 1. smile and show my joy 2. say
with the words what exactly I like
, "Well done!" is not enough. It should be something like "I am very happy that you washed all
the dishes". 3. hug, kiss or pet. We were explained that it is important to use
the three
learning styles: audial, visual and kinesthetic.
I use this approach when I remember it. I have noticed that my daughter likes it and tries harder to do her work. I think I will also like if I am praised in this way.
The second one: it is important to ask a child about his/her feelings... to be continued
