When your child attempts new skills during play, like reaching for a toy or trying to sit up, verbally appreciate their effort. Say things like 'I love watching you try new things' or 'I appreciate how hard you're working.' Your words acknowledge their process, not just outcomes, building a foundation for growth mindset.

Hoe doe je deze activiteit
When your child attempts new skills during play, like reaching for a toy or trying to sit up, verbally appreciate their effort. Say things like 'I love watching you try new things' or 'I appreciate how hard you're working.' Your words acknowledge their process, not just outcomes, building a foundation for growth mindset.
Waarom het werkt
Acknowledging efforts through appreciation builds stronger emotional bonds. Childhood behaviors including demonstrating appreciation through actions predict stronger parent-child bonds (Froh & Bono, 2014). Your child learns that their efforts matter and that they are valued for who they are, not just what they achieve, supporting secure attachment and healthy development.
Tips voor ouders
Notice small efforts, not just successes. Your child benefits from knowing you see them trying.
Use an encouraging tone without being overly excited. Calm warmth works better than high energy for this age.
Pair your words with supportive presence. Stay nearby and available without hovering.
