Positive attention from a parent is the biggest reward to a child, regardless of what they may say.

We all like to be recognized for a job well done. This should be done frequently throughout the day and specific to what they have done, i.e., "great job making your bed today!"
What this will do for your child is to build their self-esteem and increase their value of self. When people notice and pay attention to what the child has accomplished, it reinforces all the behaviors they have engaged in to get THERE…and this makes it more likely that the child will engage in those behaviors again in the future as it paid off so well for them this time.

Cultivating and building a solid self esteem and self value are so important in the modern world. Children are faced with too many social pressures, when they have a solid self value they are able to assert their position and make good, solid and educated decisions without worry or fear of peer impressions.
As parents we are not ever going to be at our child’s side all the time, so our job is to build them up and teach them well so they feel like we are on their shoulder at all times…their guardian angel constantly there in presence assisting their decision making process.
