About this webinar
Criticism And How It Impacts The Mental Health Of A Child
Parents are a powerful source of feedback in shaping their young children’s behavior and sense of self. It is within these earliest relationships that children first begin to acquire a sense of themselves as capable, competent, and loved. Two common sources of parental feedback used to shape young children’s behavior and self-esteem are praise and criticism.
New research suggests that parents who stoke their children with harsh criticism and scolding may also be saddling them with anxieties that last a lifetime.
Same goes for the teachers as the students spend a major time of a day with teachers. Also, teachers play an integral in academic, mental and emotional development of a child. The kind of relationship a child shares with parents and teachers can have huge impact on his/her mental health.
Join the webinar and understand everything about Criticism and its impact on the mental health of a child. This will be fruitful for parents and teachers both to have a good relationship with the child.
