It’s very easy to notice when our kids are acting immaturely or making immature choices, isn’t it? As parents, we usually have much to say to them at these times, and probably should only say half of it. How often, though, do we offer words of affirmation when we notice them behaving or making choices in ways that show their maturity? I was reminded to do this with my son recently when he remembered, on his own, to go to his dentist appointment the same week he forgot to take money to school for lunch. We need to know when to overlook normal, childish behaviors and when to give some much deserved encouragement for making mature decisions. Your positive comments to your child will help build their character and self-esteem, help you to have a good relationship with them, and maybe most importantly, can strongly demonstrate your love to them.
