The Power Of Encouragement

Encouragement is a powerful motivator that also builds children's self-esteem. When children feel encouraged, they're more likely to cooperate with others, to share, to engage in classroom activities, to be responsible, and to solve problems themselves. Yet we often unintentionally discourage children. Learn the four ways in which we unintentionally discourage children, what our original motives were for doing things that way, and how we can turn those discouragers around to be encouragers. These are practical, easily learned techniques that work with all ages -- even infants!
