Praising your child
Average rating:
Ask your children what they like doing and watch them e.g. if PlayStation is their latest craze watch them play a game and comment on how skilful they are. All too often praise for our children's talents or skills are discussed amongst adults when really it is our children who need to hear how proud we are of them.
