Stop Saying Good Job

How often do you say "Good job' to your children?
Most parents probably utter the words “good job!” four, five, or even ten times a day. Sometimes they genuinely mean it and sometimes it just comes out of their mouth automatically .
Lots of people mistakenly think that this is good parenting... butt actually it isn't
This type of praise doesn’t actually increase a child’s self-esteem, but rather makes them more dependent on the approval of others.
