Psychologist advises adults to praise children (video)
To avoid school fears one needs to work with a grade schooler, says psychologist Samvel Khudoyan. “When a child goes to school, he usually fights for his place, his status there. Unfortunately, there are children who encounter difficulties in establishing themselves,” the psychologist says. He says a few simple strategies will help the child feel more comfortable with the changes coming his/her way. Encouragement is the first tip offered by the specialist. Get her/him talking. Encourage your child to open up about what's worrying him/her. “In many cases, intelligence is determined by self-esteem, therefore you should praise the child a lot,” Mr. Khudoyan said.
