Project Kindness 2021 Week 4

50 Ways to Praise Kids

What a child hears can have such an impact on their self-esteem. There are so many external sources they interact with daily, so it is even more important to keep them positive. Focusing on the solution we wanted to share some different ways we can praise the children in our lives. Don’t forget adults the adults in our lives also enjoy receiving praise.
