When I came to the U.S. and started working with families, I noticed something right away… 👀
Parents say “good job” all the time
For everything.Drawing, eating, putting shoes on…
And it made me think, because in France, it’s a bit different 🇫🇷
Instead, we say things like:
“Tu as réussi” (you did it)
“Tu es fier ?” (are you proud?)
The focus is more on helping the child feel proud of themselves
Not needing validation every time
It’s not better or worse… just a different way of building confidence
💬 I’m curious — what do all think 🤔 ?
