Generally,
many parents feel the need to nag their children to do better. However, many
did not realize that nagging will create negative effects on them instead. Children
may feel de-motivated due to the constant nagging and this may affect their
performance in school and social upbringing.
How to
encourage children to do better without nagging?
- Never
compare. Each child is unique in his own.
Never compare your child to their siblings,
cousins, friends or anyone. Everyone has his own unique ability and early
childhood is the time to see through this ability and nurture it.
- Don’t
push your child.
Give encouragement instead of pushing your child to
do better. With all the guide and support given, your child will eventually motivate
himself to work harder and better.
- Allow
your child to be himself.
Encourage your child to freely express his
interests. Then, see what you can do to nurture his interests and guide him to
build a strong foundation in the areas.
- Give
recognition, not scolding.
Acknowledge your child’s effort by giving him
recognition and encouragement. When your child did not do well, increase his
level of confidence by being a guide, not by scolding.
