Valuing Achievement
“The value of achievement lies in the achieving.” – Albert Einstein
Recognizing your child’s accomplishments is one of the best ways to build self-esteem. We feel a sense of pride when others recognize the good things we do and that helps us build the confidence to try new things and to achieve even more.
The next time your child makes a good grade on an assignment or test, recognize and celebrate it. Making a child feel good about good behavior is a prime factor in their successes.
Here is something teachers can try: Identify and recognize students each day for the improvement, successes, and efforts they have made. Be specific about what each student has done to be recognized. Recognize each student! Everyone is good at something or has made improvement.
