Warning: Is Praise Ruining your Child’s Self-Esteem?


Listen Later

Is the praise your giving hurting or helping your child’s self-esteem? Is your praise building real confidence in others or is it setting people up for failure? Want the research and secret sauce on how to NOT ruin your children, employees, or teams? If yes, join us for a very curious...and important episode!

Praise is an essential and powerful tool in life...that also backfires, a lot! Grab your notebook and pen as we dive deep into a subject that holds immense power in our parenting toolkit: praise. As caregivers and educators, we often underestimate the profound impact our words can have on a child's self-esteem and behavior. We fail to realize that our praise is constructing or destructing a person’s self-esteem.

In today’s conversation, we’ll uncover the art of giving praise in a way that truly uplifts and empowers our children. We’ll explore how the language we choose can either build their confidence or unintentionally undermine it. Together, we’ll discuss why it’s crucial to focus on **effort, character, and behavior** rather than merely the outcomes. This shift not only nurtures resilience but also cultivates a growth mindset, allowing our children to embrace challenges with open arms.

You will walk away with the ONE SENTENCE YOU NEED for how to deliver praise effectively and build self-esteem. Like administering a dose of emotional medicine, it’s all about being aware, intentional, and knowing what and when to praise. 

So, if you’re ready to transform the way you praise and support your child’s emotional journey, this episode is for you! And make sure to stick around for next week, where we’ll dive into the power of character compliments and their incredible role in boosting self-esteem.

I'm excited to go on this journey with you to help ourselves, those around us, and our children thrive and feel confident in their abilities.
