0:47Now PlayingLet's stop praising perfection.
Instead of telling kids they're perfect, say:
👉"Great job working hard"
👉 "I love how kind you are to your sister"
👉"Nice job practicing today"
Focus on their willingness to work hard, perservere, and live out important virtues.
For example, with Arwyn, we focus on her character. If she swims hard and beats me in a race, we say, "Great job, you worked so hard." We celebrate her effort and work ethic. When she's kind to her sister or shares with others, we praise her willingness to be generous or thoughtful.
Praising kids as "perfect" or telling them they can do anything might seem supportive, but it actually sets unrealistic expectations and can hurt their self-worth. True confidence comes from effort and progress, not from being flawless.
