How can I praise my child effectively? Hideo Honda, a professor in the Department of Child Mental Developmental Medicine at the Shinshu University School of Medicine and director of the Children’s Psychological Clinic at the Shinshu University Hospital, says, “The things that adults want to praise and the things that children want to praise are the same.

Just when she thought, “This is a point of praise,” she immediately said, “You’re working hard,” “You’re amazing,” and “You’re beautiful,” but for some reason, the child bit her. Ta.

Belief that “I should be happy if I am praised”

The second manga depicts how the child felt at this time. This child was not good at writing kanji, and she didn’t think she could write well.
