With each child, we learn new tactics and create our own parenting toolkit. There's no one-size-fits-all approach, so it's nice to have a repertoire of strategies to fall back on.
every child is different, each with their own quirks and personalities, which makes this journey interesting. You never know what could work until you try! It's like being a scientist experimenting with new recipes in the lab (but much more fun!).

It's true; acknowledgment goes a long way in building a child's confidence and encouraging them to repeat good behaviors. Well done for recognizing this! From my experience, I've found that a simple, deliberate pat on the back or high-five can go a long way too - a physical sign of approval, especially for younger kids, which also adds a bit of excitement to the recognition.
Physical affection and tactile reassurance are powerful tools. A simple high five or pat on the shoulder can be packed with love and affirmation!
