I agree with your point that there is a difference between compliment and acknowledgment. When a compliment is given, it usually stays there, at that time and it does not have a lasting effect. When an acknowledgment is given, on the other hand, it can last and may even be life-altering at times. As a daughter, I can feel truly encouraged when the things that I do at home are appreciated.

As you know when a woman appreciate her husband for the little things he did for her. he love to do more for her. It is the appreciation that always makes the relationship more sweet and good.

Not only making sure they FEEL appreciated but knowing in your heart that you do appreciate them so when you interact with them, what they feel is authentic. And for those who don't appreciate their children: learn to. Then the child can light up the world.

Our kids are still very young but we ensure we give them a high five or something rewarding to let them know when they have done a good thing. We try to do this in our relationship as well and it has worked very well. It’s great to see this positive attitude.
