Let’s Teach more Love using the power of praise.
It’s simple step we can all take to make a big impact.
Catch ‘em being good and #TeachLove with praise.
Boys Town is on a mission to make the environments our children live in more positive. We are asking parents, teachers, caregivers, and anyone involved in the life of a child to help build up the praise for our kids. Let’s face it, we tend to react most when we catch kids misbehaving. But research shows that if we change the focus and praise kids 4 times for every time we correct them, their behaviors and your relationship will get better!

In the whole spirit of praise, we can’t forget the importance of self-talk and praising ones self. This may sound simple enough, but it’s never easy to be self-forgiving or resilient when times are tough, and failure knocks you down. Fortunately, just as you can teach children to be kind to others, you can empower them to be kind to themselves. A great place to start is by teaching them the importance of self-praise.
