Phrases we should say to our students every day
In this article I
want to claim that language that, obviously, sometimes we don't give it the
value it has.
1. "I know
you will know how to do it"
Some words have the power to
comfort and make us feel capable of anything. They strengthen our confidence
and encourage us to undertake new projects. These types of expressions are very
important during childhood and adolescence, which is the moment when the
personality is being forged. You will need to get a good repertoire for the
school: "I believe in you", "I don't doubt you will get
it", "you will achieve it".
2. "Why don't you
try?"
When we speak from the heart
and encourage our students to take risks, we fill them with energy. With our
positive and close attitude, we remind you that we trust them and, above all,
that you have the ability to believe and grow. The experiences we live make us
the person we are and that is how our identity is forged. "Do you dare to
try?", "What if we try together?", "Do you dare to do
it?"
3. “I love how you are, I love how you do this”
An important part in building
self-esteem is the interaction with other people. With the beginning of the
nursery school, our little students begin to interact with other children their
age and it is nice (and necessary) to remind them that each of them is unique
and special. In the difference is the value!
4. "What if you try to
see it differently?"
We tend to aim at our own
thoughts and we find it difficult to see things from another point of view. In
such a way that it is great to have someone to push us to think differently and
to open our minds. I think this is a good phrase (in all its variants) for
students to put themselves in the place of another person and thus lead them
towards a more positive and empathetic thought: "Do you think your partner
Marcos would think the same?", " tomorrow would you think the same again?
”
5. “How much have you tried!”
We all need to feel that our
efforts are recognized and not just the achievements we achieve. This is how
the motivation falls on the road and not only on the final goal. Therefore,
when we emphasize with beautiful words the dedication that our students have
put in a task, we strengthen those positive behaviors and attitudes. "You
got very involved in group work," "you have worked hard on it,"
"you can be proud, how hard you have done!"
6. "I care about your
opinion, what do you think about this?"
When we value our students' opinions, they feel comforted and satisfied. He
warns that his thoughts are important and that each of us has his own way of
thinking. This translates into immediate benefits in living in the classroom:
our students are more receptive and tolerant and receptive, and dialogue
between them is promoted.
Although simple, said consciously and at the right
time; they manage to generate very positive attitudes in our classrooms and
bring out the best that people have, those unique human qualities that make us
special.
