What does affirming someone do?

  1. Devalues their feelings

  2. Provides them with positive feedback

  3. Ignores their accomplishments

  4. Disregards their self-worth

The correct answer is: Provides them with positive feedback

Affirming someone involves acknowledging and valuing their feelings, thoughts, or achievements. When you provide positive feedback, it reinforces their actions or emotions and can enhance their self-esteem. This kind of validation plays a crucial role in building supportive relationships and promoting emotional well-being. It demonstrates that you recognize their worth and appreciate their experiences, which encourages them to maintain or improve their behavior. Positive feedback can motivate individuals to continue engaging in positive practices and can help them navigate challenging situations with more confidence.
