Recognition in School

I wonder how parent cope with this question : Mommy/Daddy, why teacher gave me one star on this page but 3 stars on another page of my workbook? I feel it's a tough to answer this question.

If I get into correction mode, spotting flaws eg. because you colour this bear bear pink instead of brown, eventually she will get the message that I am never too good in my homework. And I don't want her to rely her self esteem on the number of stars she gets.

Self esteem is an insider job. I want her to feel good when she knows she perservere to finish her homework. Or when she learn new things or when she learn new skills or when she accomplish her goal.

If you want to share any opinion on this article, drop me an email :>
