Internal vs. External Validation for Children Scene 1: Parent praising child 🎥 Parent: “You got an A! I’m so proud of you!” 📝 External Validation: Praise based on achievements. Scene 2: Child holding a drawing 🎥 Child: “Look at my drawing!” 🎥 Parent: “Wow, you’re so talented!” 📝 External Validation: Focus on outcomes, not effort.

Scene 4: Parent focusing on effort 🎥 Parent: “You worked so hard on that drawing! What do you love about it?” 📝 Internal Validation: Praising effort and encouraging self-reflection. Scene 5: Child smiling, holding up their drawing 🎥 Child: “I love how I used so many colors!” 📝 Internal Validation: Helps children build confidence and resilience. Scene 6: Parent and child playing together 🎥 Parent: “You don’t have to be perfect.
