- Praise every effort
Children will not do every intentional act perfectly, but when they are truly making an effort it is good to acknowledge that hard-working spirit.
Your daughter may go into the kitchen and without being asked, unloads the silverware out of the dishwasher but leaves the rest.
Don’t berate her for not doing the whole task, instead try to praise her beginning the task without prompting; while then saying how helpful it would be if she continues until the task is finished.
