Devote more time to compliments than complaints

It takes only seconds to give a compliment, while a complaint often takes a minute or more. To encourage good behavior and build your child's confidence, flip the balance and spend more time on compliments than complaints. Say what you don't like about your child's actions quickly. When you see positive behavior, offer plenty of specific praise. You'll spend less time on corrections and more on motivating your child.
