Good feedback at home is warm, specific and immediate — name exactly what your child did well, model gently when something needs adjusting, and keep encouragement far greater than correction. Practise it in play, meals and daily routines to build both confidence and skill.

*Feedback is one of the simplest, most powerful tools you have at home — it's the gentle mirror that tells your child, "I see what you did, and here's how to do even better."*

## In short
Giving good feedback means responding to your child's effort in a way that is warm, specific and immediate — naming exactly what they did well, and showing rather than just telling when something needs adjusting. You can practise this in everyday moments: play, dressing, mealtimes and chores. The goal is not correction but connection — feedback that builds confidence and skill at the same time.

## Everyday ways to practise feedback
**Be specific, not just "good job"**
- Instead of "well done", say what you saw: "You held the spoon all by yourself!"
- Name the effort, not only the result: "You kept trying even when the tower fell."

**Make it immediate**
- Respond in the moment, while your child still remembers what they did.
- A smile, a thumbs-up or a clap counts as feedback too — children read your face first.

**Show, don't only tell**
- If something needs fixing, model it gently: "Watch how I push the button — now you try."
- Give one small step at a time, so it feels doable, not overwhelming.

**Keep the balance warm**
- Aim for far more encouragement than correction.
- End on a positive note so your child stays willing to try again.

**Invite their voice**
- Ask "How do you think that went?" so feedback becomes a two-way conversation, not a verdict.

## When to seek a little extra support
If your child seems to shut down, become very distressed with any correction, or struggles to follow simple feedback well past the age you'd expect, it's worth a friendly developmental check — not as a worry, but to understand how your child learns best. A therapist can show you exactly how to pitch feedback to your child's pace and strengths.
