    I let him know when he's put forth great effort to achieve his goals.

    I just tell him try try try and if you try try try and it doesn't come out right, change the right.

    We just tell the kids to keep trying and let them know that we are always here to support them.

    My baby is 9 months old and I tell her she is beautiful everyday. I tell her good job when she does things like standing up and letting go for a few seconds. That's really all I can do so far at this age.
