100 Ways to Say Good Job
As a parent and as a clinician I find myself saying “good job!” way too often. By diversifying our own language and praising specific behaviors, our kiddos are more likely to repeat the same behaviors. Below is a list i like to give to my therapists working with children and parents during parent training meetings. I’m sharing here because, why not, we all need a little positive boost once in a while!
