Course overview
Lesson Overview

3.8 – Reinforcing Good Behavior With Praise: Praise is the sunlight that helps positive behavior grow. When parents recognize effort, not just success, children feel motivated to keep trying. Genuine praise teaches that good actions bring positive results. It builds self-worth and emotional connection. However, praise must be specific and sincere to be effective. Saying “You worked really hard on that project” means more than “Good job.” Reinforcing behavior this way helps kids internalize values rather than perform for approval. Praise should celebrate progress, patience, and kindness as much as achievement. It encourages repetition of positive habits while reducing the need for punishment. Children who grow up hearing encouragement learn to self-praise, building lifelong confidence. The more a parent highlights growth, the stronger the child’s internal motivation becomes.
