Do you have to praise your child constantly when they are doing something? 

Then your child could be addicted to praise 

Praise addiction is not good for children because when they constantly need praise - they can't work independently.

What can you do to change this? 

1. Give them time for free play
Free play builds intrinsic motivation and ends dependence on external motivators like praise

2. Teach them new skills
That will build their self-esteem and end their need for praise

3. Do not worry about what others think
If you need others praise and approval , your child will need the same.

Praise addiction is a terrible thing. 

It can affect your child's ability to perform in everything through life. 

Do these 3 things and end praise addiction today.
