How can preschool teachers offer encouragement to the children?

Question

how much encouragement is appopriate?

Answer 1

Praise is a good thing, as long as it is genuine. It is appropriate to praise behaviors you want to see repeated. However, you want to steer clear of praising for every little thing. "Wow. That is a great picture!" "Look how high you can jump!" "I like your cute dress." Over praising can lead to a child feeling as though they are entitled to praise all the time, or that they can't do anything without your approval. This leads to them being co-dependent on your praise in order to feel good about themselves, instead of fostering the idea that they can feel good inside without outside praise. Instead say something like, "Wow, you should feel good about how you put that puzzle together yourself! That was hard work!" This puts the emphasis on feeling good about their own accomplishments instead of trying to please you all the time and wait for your complement to qualify them.
