I’ve been trying to teach my kids about the importance of effort lately. It seems like they focus so much on the final result and not enough on the hard work that goes into it. I really want them to grasp that putting in effort is just as valuable as winning or succeeding.
I’ve read that positive reinforcement can be effective, but I’m unsure how to put it into practice. Should I be praising their efforts instead of just the outcome? What types of rewards or recognition might encourage them to keep trying, especially when challenges arise?
Has anyone here had success with this approach? I’d love to hear your experiences!
