The parental stamp of approval helps the child internalize this feeling of competency. This does not create pride. Praise is a good thing. Validate your children's talents and abilities. Fill up their tummies with good feelings about themselves.
"Never attach yourself to a place, a company, an organization or a project. Attach yourself to a mission, a calling, a purpose only. That's how you keep your power & your peace."-Elon Musk
