    We all like a little pat on the back, don’t we? Especially when we are trying our best to learn something new and challenging.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Well, the same applies to our children, if not even more so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Picture this. Your child comes home from their English class and excitedly shares a new English phrase they learned. Instead of a simple nod, you pause, you listen, and you celebrate their achievement with them. You say, “Wow, you’ve done such a fantastic job!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This validation, this recognition, does wonders for your child’s self-esteem. It\u2019s the simple act of being involved and showing that you value their learning that can make a world of difference to how they perceive themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Their thought process becomes, “My parents value my learning. My efforts matter.” This is a powerful motivator and can be a significant boost to their English learning journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
