Achievement and Appreciation

***

When we as parents or teachers often give appreciation to the little one it turns out the impact is extraordinary ...

Because the spirit of the child will increase many times to do other positive things that he has done earlier when we give sincere support or praise to him.

Achievements here are not only about the academic values that have been achieved by children in the classroom, parents. Except the achievement of the baby in whatever he has succeeded in doing.

Like the experience of my 2nd daughter who is 5 years old. Initially, when going to take a bath he always to not be bathed by his mother or father.

"I'm gonna take a shower myself." So said. I do not forbid that simple desire either. However, I previously gave instructions first to him to know how to take a proper and clean bath.

By telling you, before bathing pee first in the toilet and then watered until clean around the closet and others. I stress children to urinate directly in the WC so that the stool does not spread everywhere later.

After cleaning the sensitive area can directly flush water throughout the body then use a bath soap until evenly distributed and use a shampoo to clean the hair.

The little one did the stages as I said earlier. After that he was successful and used to bathe himself until now.

In addition, the boy who just entered the small Kindergarten was often asked to choose and wear his own clothes. I also reproduce and provide opportunities to him with the aim of training independence and habituation for himself.

Now, every morning when he just woke up, he did, which was to immediately undress himself without the help of anyone and then ran to the bathroom to take a shower. After successfully cleaning himself he also took a towel to wipe and dry the body. Afterwards wear the uniform that I had previously prepared in a place that he could reach.

His response? The look on his face was immediately beaming with flashes of sparkling eyeballs.

"Tomorrow I want to take a shower and wear my own clothes again, yes, Ma" he said enthusiastically and very excited.

On another occasion, I was having lunch and the little guy was enjoying some of his favorite citrus fruits in the living room.

After spending the two orange-colored fruit he casually sauntered towards the front door while saying "Kabur, ah. "he said without burden.

Seeing such a scene unfolded before the eyes. My brain was guerrilla trying to determine the attitude and choose the right sentence for a boy his age.

If I scold or tell him directly to clean the orange peel that is still scattered on the floor with a high tone or shout, my prediction is that the child is not usually the opposite.

Finally after meditating for a few minutes came out a sentence like this, "Dila, right, pinter, yes, if you have eaten oranges are usually cleaned immediately and and throw the orange peel into the trash."

The child who was originally about to leave the house turned around and took a broom and then cleaned up the orange peel that had been left and left.

After finding the floor was clean I also gave compliments with pleasure.

"Tuh, right, Mama's daughter is smart and clean. Thank you very much, dear." While giving appreciation, I did not forget to hug him warmly.
