There is one simple thing that is often forgotten, and indeed trivial in nature, but its impact was incredible for mental development and progress of children, namely reinforcement. In educating children, we should feel free to provide reinforcement.
Reinforcement is any kind of positive response, both verbal and nonverbal, which aims to provide feedback (feedback) for the recipients (children) for his actions as a form of encouragement or correction. In other words, strengthening the mean response given to a behavior that can increase the likelihood of the recurrence of such behavior.
Such actions are intended to reward or encourage their children to be more active again in the study. There was a verbal reinforcement there also is nonverbal. Verbal reinforcement can be by using words of praise, appreciation, approval, and so on, for example:
Good! Yes , very good! Yes, smart! Yes, a hundred for you! Mama's boy is great, wonderful, well ... a very good, and others. While reinforcement is nonverbal, such gestures can include: a nod of the head, thumbs up, smile, eyes are cool. Friends, and others. Or strengthening the character of contact such as: a pat on the shoulder, shaking hands, hand hitting, etc..
Reinforcement is also provided not only for children who get good grades, or doing good things, but to the children who get low marks, or make mistakes, we can provide corrective and strengthening a constructive nature that can build and nurture the spirit of children, such as when our children get low values, we do not sneer, yell at them or even insult them, but we are obliged to cultivate his spirit so that one day this kid could be better.
For example with the sentence, "Be patient, kid! Do not despair. Mama still proud of you, I'm sure if his study even harder your grade will be terrific. "The sentence is accompanied by nonverbal reinforcement in the form of stroking her hair, or a clap on the shoulder.
