Celebrating your child’s success is the best way to nourish their growth, development and encourage them to continue positive behavior. No matter how big or small, it is important to a child’s self-esteem to know that their parents support their efforts and wish to connect with their likes and dislikes. Moreover, celebration shows children that their parents are interested in their activities, promoting calm, confident behavior and more dialogue between parent-child from an early age.
5 simple ways to celebrate your child’s victories
- Create a rewards system
This can be in the form of chore charts, increased screen-time, ice cream treats, or anything that your kid likes! For every success, big or small, giving rewards will motivate your child to keep the good behavior going and boost their confidence.
- Create family traditions
Every time your child should be celebrated, praising them in front of family and friends can help them build confidence. Calling grandparents or other relatives to praise their new success can help them feel supported. If this becomes the tradition, the child will remember that their positive behavior is rewarded with communal love and support.
- Display their work
Make a physical effort to showcase how proud you are. Putting their trophy, artwork, badge, pictures, certificates, etc., on the wall or fridge shows your child that their accomplishments are worthy of being viewed.
- Physical/Verbal gestures
Both verbal and physical praise can help connect with your child and promote healthy relationships. It can be physical affection or verbal expressions like “amazing”, “I’m so proud of you!”, etc. Your attention tells them you care about their accomplishments.
- Celebrate with food
The best way to a child’s heart, give them foo! For every victory, plan a day out. Take them picnics, nice restaurants or ice cream, whatever they enjoy. This will instill good memories and traditions for a lifetime and show you’re happy for their success.
