Children are like little detectives who know perfectly well when you are telling the truth or when you are lying. When you are not entirely sincere, they can feel confused and even if you think they really believe you… they are not. They simply have doubts about how you are able to say something that is not true.
There is much debate on whether or not it is a good idea to give everyone a trophy just for participating in a game or race and to label each child as talented and A's. While the motivation for unwarranted praise comes from a good background, not wanting children to feel bad about themselves and trying to build self-esteem, the reality is that not everyone can win or have the same talent in everything ... So they are being given false hope.
In fact, it is important to nurture your child's desire to try, perhaps fail, and try again the things he wants to do. But there is a way to encourage him without praising him when it is not justified. If your child fails at something, Remind her that not being successful is often necessary for her to do well one day so that she can practice whatever she really needs.
If your child is not naturally good at something, you have to encourage him to think about what things they like best and also to think about what different people, like their friends and family, are good at different things, and that these differences they are important and differentiate them from each other. We are not all good at the same because in diversity is human richness. What makes us unique and interesting is being able to do different things without having to all be the same in something.
