Encouragement

Adlerian psychotherapist Rudolf Dreikurs writes in the book 'Children: The Challenge' about the importance of encouragement in the growth and development of our children.

"Encouragement is more important than any other aspect of child-raising. It is so important that the lack of it can be considered the basic cause of misbehaviour”

“A misbehaving child is a discouraged child. Each child needs continuous encouragement just as a plant needs water. She cannot grow and develop and gain a sense of belonging without encouragement"
