Being a good parent mostly involves supporting and encouraging your child. Continually providing your kids with words of encouragement and emotional support fosters an atmosphere that helps them become resilient and confident. When your child finishes a difficult school assignment, for example, even if the result isn’t flawless, encouraging them to work hard and taking satisfaction in their achievement teaches them that effort counts. Along with raising your child’s self-esteem, this kind of encouragement inspires them to take on new obstacles with zeal and resolve.
A happy and satisfying life is shaped in large part by the encouragement and support that parents provide their children.
