Do you catch yourself saying ’NO’ to your child all the time

Do you catch yourself saying ‘’NO’’ to your child all the time? 🙅‍♂️ Teachers do it too and it is needed sometimes outside of class, but in class the way we say it can have extremely negative consequences on children’s self-esteem. This is where positive correction jumps in! 🚀 Positive correction in teaching ESL to children is a way of helping them learn a new language by focusing on their mistakes in a supportive and encouraging manner. Here’s a simple explanation, along with three benefits: 📚 Encouragement - Positive correction involves offering praise and encouragement when a child uses English correctly, even if it’s just a small improvement. This boosts their confidence and motivates them to keep trying. 👏 Gentle guidance - Instead of scolding or pointing out errors harshly, positive correction gently guides children to correct their mistakes. This approach ensures they don’t feel discouraged or embarrassed. 🤗 Maintaining enthusiasm - Children are more likely to stay enthusiastic about learning English when they receive positive feedback, making the learning process enjoyable and sustainable. 🌈 The words we use have a big impact on our children. It’s very hard to control ourselves, and I can feel all my parents, since I am a parent too, but It’s important to keep trying. 💪 Have you ever tried swapping ‘’NO’’ with something positive while still saying ‘’NO’’?
