Descriptive praise
Descriptive praise is when you tell your child exactly what it is that
you like.
Thank you for remembering to hang your coat on the peg.
Descriptive praise is best for boosting self-esteem and building
good behavior.
You might praise a younger child for having a go at tying his own
shoelaces. You can praise teenagers for coming home at an agreed
time.
You can also use encouragement before and during an activity.

Self-Perception Theory
If our behavior does not bring any visible, external
effects, we tend to look for its causes in us, in our
interests. We think that we wanted to act this way.
If the external effects of our behavior is easy to see, its
causes will be seen in external circumstances.
If you read a book for pleasure, you will think that you
like to read. However, if you read the book, because it
is required for the exam, then the external cause of
your behavior is easy to find.
Helping them with dealing with failure (failure as a normal step on the
road to improvement),
What is forbidden?
1. Set up the time of doing homework or arrange a permanent signal (I always sit
down to do homework when my mother is done with washing dishes.).
2. Doing homework should take place relatively soon after school. All pleasure
must be passed after homework. Stable schedule will help your child to learn to
mobilize.
3. ,, Empty desk ".
4. Go through the notebooks, books, pay attention to the notes given by the
teacher (connected with present homework or previous one), make a plan.
5. We start with something easy, because we need a success. You know your child
best- remember about different learning styles (!).
6. We work in stages until the child is able to concentrate. When our work is not
effective- do a short break.
Helping teenagers
Check together homework.
Find out what is the deadline for the project.
Find out if the teenager knows material for a class test and
whether it is worthwhile to do a similar test at home.
