5 Tips Encouragement • Encourage the effort or the learning and not the end
result: You really showed some great courage when you got up to make that speech.
• Give genuine encouragement and avoid manipulation: Your tem paper is so neat- I wish you would do all your work that neatly.
• Use specific statement of encouragement : You have worked really hard to work out the math problems.
• Be sincere, don’t praise undeserved success.• Use encouragement for effort now-don’t connect to
work way in the future: You did a great job of study I know you will do well on the test.

Monitor Your Use of Praise to Children
Praise to Avoid• General, non-specific leads to vulnerability and sense
of self-worth dependent on that praise • Praise for a fixed-trait, such as intelligence or musical
talent, may lead to worry about failure and therefore child avoids taking risks.
Appropriate Praise• Achievement – what child does. Be specific “good
use of color in that picture” not “good job”• Process – how the child does it. Examples: for effort,
for inventiveness, or for keeping at it.• Person – who the child is. Valued for who they are. “I
like having you in my group. Your smile is contagious.”
