Power of words – we all know what we speak or write has an impact on people and children around us . If we jumble up lot of words & lay them out on tray to serve the children words like – Great , Wonderful , super , Stupendous , Respect , Gratitude , Sorry , way to go, Brilliant , children will apply them in their communication & add new words to their language .
Go around & ask each other which words would children like to hear about themselves from their teachers parents & relations , some vocabulary words can definitely support or hinder child’s progress , for example use of words like , fool , stupid , lazy , dull will make a way for more negative attitude & words ,
As children grow developmental feedback in form of words is important for the self esteem of children .
Children are encouraged to use expanded vocabulary when they hear it from teachers , parents & peers, for e.g. you made a great painting , you chose wonderful colors , what a neat work will make the child more focused and careful about the work .At JBM Smart Start in Greater Noida . We try maximum use of positive words to boost their morale .
