100 Ways to Positively
Reinforce Your Child!

There is a language of encouragement...a language that can be used to raise a child’s self-esteem! And -- unfortunately -- many people lack literacy in this important language! Use these phrases, as often as possible, to build your child’s confidence!

Two important reminders:
A. Remember to praise approximations of success.
Don’t wait until your child “hits the bull's-eye” before providing encouragement!

B. When possible, praise your child in public!
