Compliments about your children

It makes me feel so good when people keep complimenting my daughters behavior and personality to me. All parents that she goes over to their houses to play say she is really sweet and considerate. They say her kids never play together and never get along until my daughter is there. She includes everyone, never leaves the younger sibling out and makes everyone get along. I get this from so many parents that my daughter bring their family closer together. Even a family with 5 kids say this to me. It feels so nice.

People do the same with my kids. Yes it does feel good (or good enough) but what I find more important is that I compliment my children. I notice that that is what gives them way more self confidence. The only thing I find strange is that schools always want to change my children into someone they are not, into the most common, middle group kind of children.. the shouting, screamin, noisy, badly behaved and fighting ones. The kind of children mine are not.

It is a great feeling when we know we are doing a good job with our children! And basically that is what their saying, we are good parents and our children behave accordingly. I also get compliments about my children a lot. The church we go to has a lot of older people in it and they always tell me your children are so well behaved and so quiet during service! They tell me every Sunday. =) It makes me feel good that I know I am doing something right!

That is nice. They say that how your kids behave when you are not around is the true reflection of your parenting, even if they misbehave around you.

It is really nice to see that your kid is well behaved and has a nice character. It reflects well on you and the upbringing you gave her. After all what we as parents teach our kids stays with them their whole life. We are responsible to build the foundation of their character.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well that is great to hear that your daughter is being complimented heavily for her behavior and i know as a parent u must be feeling so happy as if on being on top of the world. In fact every parents wants their children to be praised for their behavior and personality by others and if that happens then they can take pride in their upbringing and grooming. What say?

That's always great to hear for sure as a parent. I get complements about my 23 month old all of the time. How sweet she is and how well she is when she is out and of course how cute her and her brother are.

It shows good parenting when I child is well behaved, I find. It's not only a compliment to your child but to yourself as well because you are doing a good job in razing your child. Your teaching them great skills for the everyday life and now a days a lot of people don't take the time to raise there children with these skills. Congrats and be proud of yourself as well as your child!
