Words are powerful. This is especially true when you consider the words that you choose to describe your child – or children you work with. Today we are sharing a huge list of adjectives about kids to increase self-confidence and esteem in children.

Adjectives About Kids: Using the Power of Words to Increase Confidence

What's Inside:

As a teacher and parent, I know first hand how true that quote is.

I have seen behaviors, attitudes and self-esteem completely transformed in my classroom just by carefully choosing words to describe kids in a positive light. 

You see, if a child repeatedly hears someone describe them using positive words, eventually they start to believe what they are hearing.

Because I have seen how powerful words can be, I have become more intentional with the words I use to describe the behavior, actions and personalities of my own children – and I encourage you to do the same.

Adjectives are describing words and you can pretty much guarantee that the words kids grow up hearing are the same words they will end up using to describe themselves as adults. 

How to Use Adjectives to Describe Kids

Adjectives about kids can be used in a variety of ways:

  • As a parent trying to improve the self-esteem of your own child.
  • As a teacher looking for descriptions to include in report cards or progress reports.
  • As a coach or counselor trying to find words to describe the positive personality traits you see in the kids you’re working with. 

No matter why you are looking for adjectives to describe children, it’s helpful to understand why being as specific as possible is very important.

Oftentimes we get in the habit of using the same generic phrases like “cute” or “smart” on repeat. 

When children hear these same terms repeated over and over they actually become meaningless.

Here are some tips on using adjectives to describe kids:

  • Use phrases that are as unique and individualized as possible.
  • Avoid focusing on appearance for compliments. You don’t want a child’s self-worth to be connected to the way they look.
  • Consider characteristics that set them apart from others.
  • Try to rephrase challenging aspects of their personality in a positive way that highlights how they can use them as strengths (ie instead of stubborn, describe them as determined).
  • Use these words and phrases in everyday conversation so they frequently hear themselves being described using positive words.
  • Write the words on post-it notes and leave them for your child to find in their room, on the bathroom mirror or inside their favorite book.
  • Utilize them as part of a daily affirmation routine.
  • Be genuine – kids can tell when you’re not being authentic. Be sure that the words you use accurately describe your child and how you feel about them – even if it’s just some of the time.
  • Have your child (or students) choose words from this list of adjectives for describing kids to make a poster or collage about themselves.

When used consistently these words will become a natural part of your daily routine and your child will become accustomed to hearing themselves in a positive light every day.

Now let’s get on to the list!

A Helpful Guide And List

While introducing your child to various language concepts, you might ask yourself why adjectives for kids are so important.

Words like “beautiful,” “fast,” “happy,” and “messy” are common adjectives your child might already know. But what makes them essential for language development? To answer this question, we must understand what role adjectives play.

Adjectives are words that add flavor to our sentences. They help make sentences more meaningful, they help us express the different qualities of an object or person, and, without them, our speech would be bland and boring.

In fact, adjectives are so important that children start using them from early in their language development (think “that’s good” and “that’s bad” and “I am sad…or happy”) and continue to expand on their understanding of them for years to come.

If you want to help your child make a richer use of adjectives in their talking and later their writing but don’t know where to begin, you’ve come to the right place. Our HOMER learning experts know a thing or two about teaching kids adjectives.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll take you through all you need to know about adjectives and some of the most effective strategies for helping your child understand them.

What Are Adjectives?

What are some words you would use to describe yourself? Are you tall, short, funny, smart, or fast? These words are all adjectives.

However, adjectives don’t just describe people. They also help us describe animals, objects, and thoughts. In addition, we can express what something feels like to taste, touch, or smell because of adjectives.

By learning these types of words, children can create vivid images of what they are describing and give distinctions and comparisons. This is beneficial for building vocabulary and helping children clearly express their thoughts and feelings.

When Should Kids Learn About Adjectives?

Children’s use of adjectives changes over different stages of their language development. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect during early childhood.

2 – 3 Years

By the time a child reaches the toddler stage, their language skills have developed at an incredible rate. Children at this stage understand simple adjectives, like:

  • Small
  • Big
  • Messy
  • Soft
  • Sticky
  • Tiny

4 – 6 Years

When a child enters preschool and then kindergarten, they will continue developing their vocabulary as they interact with other kids and their teachers and are exposed to more books.

A significant part of their vocabulary will include adjectives. At this stage, children are likely to understand more descriptive adjectives, like:

  • Scratchy
  • Gentle
  • Polite
  • Shocking
  • Terrified
  • Clever
  • Damp
  • Impossible
  • Interesting

It’s important to note that there is no wrong or right time for children to start learning about adjectives.

Since these words form a part of our everyday vocabulary, as your child starts speaking, they will naturally pick up on them and start using them in their own speech.

When it comes to adjectives for kids, they may not always understand what each word means. That’s why it’s important to help your child not only know these words but also understand their meanings so they can use them appropriately.

How To Practice Adjectives For Kids

Helping your child improve their understanding of adjectives doesn’t have to be boring! Here are a few fun activities you can try at home.

1) Play Adjectives Charades

This is a fun activity that gets the whole family involved. Simply write adjectives on separate pieces of paper and take turns choosing a piece of paper and acting out the word on it.

If you have very young children, remember to use simple adjectives — weak, strong, nice, mean, angry, etc. And for children who haven’t yet learned how to read, you can read the words for them as needed.

Acting out adjectives is one of the best ways to help your child understand and remember the meaning of the words.

2) Describe A Person, Place, Or Thing

Since adjectives help us describe a person, place, or thing, why not create an activity centered around this concept?

To get started, make a list of six categories of nouns you can describe with an adjective. For example, your categories can include a person, tree, cat or dog, couch, ice cream, and music.

Once you have your categories, it’s time to roll your dice. The concept is simple — the number you roll will match a category, and you will need to come up with adjectives to describe that person, place, or thing.

For instance, if you roll a four and your fourth category is “couch,” you will need to come up with words to describe a couch (comfy, big, soft, etc.).

With younger children, you might come up with a single adjective, but as children’s vocabulary grows, you can make the game aim higher — up to six adjectives for each noun.

To make it more interesting for older kids, you can give them 30 seconds to come up with the adjectives. Each word earns them one point, and the adult would need to get twice as many points as the child to win the game.

3) Have Fun With Adjectives In Your Speech

Sometimes you don’t need to create complicated games to practice adjectives for kids. Since adjectives are a part of our everyday vocabulary, you can easily create moments throughout the day when you intentionally use descriptive words in conversation.

For example, instead of saying, “Have some strawberries,” you might say, “Have some juicy, bright-red strawberries.”

Or, instead of saying, “Cuddle in your blanket,” it’s more effective to say, “Cuddle in your soft, cozy, fluffy blanket.

This simple activity can help your child significantly improve their vocabulary as well.



4) Play The Adjective Switch Game

Another fun way to help your child practice adjectives is by playing the adjective switch game.

For this activity, name an animal — a bear, for example — and then use an adjective to describe it. Your child would then act out the adjectives.

For example, you could say:

  • Hungry bear
  • Unhappy bear
  • Angry bear
  • Silly bear
  • Sleepy bear

To make the game even more fun, you might go really fast from one adjective to the other as your child tries to keep up.

You can then turn the tables and let your child have a chance while you act out the adjectives they use to describe the bear.

List Of Adjectives For Kids

Now that you have a few fun activities to help your child continue practicing adjectives, you probably want to get started creating these right away.

But which adjectives can you include? Here’s a list of relevant describing words you can add to games. (Remember: Some of these may be challenging for younger children. Choose adjectives based on your child.)

Since there are so many adjectives in the English language, it’s essential to take your time introducing your child to them.

It’s also important to note that simply expanding your child’s vocabulary bank shouldn’t be the focal point. While it can be great to hear your child reciting the many words they’ve learned, a problem may arise when they know the words themselves but don’t understand their meanings.

Instead, as you introduce adjectives to your child, focus on helping them understand the words. An improvement in your child’s vocabulary will be a natural byproduct of that.

It’s Time To Describe!

Adjectives are words that help us describe people, places, or things. Without them, it would be difficult to distinguish between a red and green apple or a stormy and sunny day. This is why we’re passionate about adjectives for kids!

As much as we may use these describing words in our everyday language, it’s not always so simple to help our children understand them. But with the right plan, it’s definitely possible, and the above activities can help you introduce adjectives for kids in a fun and engaging way.

Whether you choose to act things out, be extra descriptive in your everyday language, create a fun word game, or all the above, remember to focus on helping your child understand the meaning behind the words.

Learning adjectives can be challenging for kids, but it can also be a lot of fun. Look for creative ways to share adjective examples to make the most of these grammar lessons.

Bright epithets for mother

Being born, a new person receives a unique character as a gift. Human nature can consist of traits inherited from parents, or it can manifest itself in a completely different, unexpected quality.

Nature not only determines behavioral reactions, it specifically affects the manner of communication, attitude towards others and one's own person, to work. Character traits of a person create a certain worldview in a person.

A person's behavioral responses depend on character

These two definitions create confusion, because both of them are involved in the formation of personality and behavioral responses. In fact, character and temperament are heterogeneous:

  1. Character is formed from a list of certain acquired qualities of the personality's mental make-up.
  2. Temperament is a biological quality. Psychologists distinguish four types of it: choleric, melancholic, sanguine and phlegmatic.

Having the same temperament, individuals can have completely different characters. But temperament has an important influence on the development of nature - smoothing or sharpening it. Also, human nature directly affects temperament.

What is character

Psychologists, speaking of character, mean a certain combination of traits of an individual, persistent in their expression . These traits have the maximum impact on the behavioral line of the personality in diverse relationships:

  • among people;
  • in the work team;
  • to self;
  • to the surrounding reality;
  • to physical and mental labor.

The word "character" is of Greek origin, it means "to mint". This definition was introduced into use by the naturalist of Ancient Greece, the philosopher Theophrastus. Such a word really, very accurately defines the nature of the individual.


Theophrastus was the first to use the term "character"

The character seems to be drawn as a unique drawing, it gives rise to a unique seal that a person wears in a single copy.

To put it simply, character is an aggregate, an association of stable individual mental characteristics.

How to understand nature

To understand what kind of nature an individual has, one must analyze all his actions. It is behavioral reactions that determine examples of character and characterize the personality.

But such a judgment is more often subjective. Far from always a person reacts as intuition tells him. Actions are influenced by upbringing, life experience, customs of the environment where the person lives.

But it is possible to understand what kind of disposition a person has. Observing and analyzing the actions of a certain person for a long time, one can identify individual, especially stable features. If a person in completely different situations behaves in the same way, showing similar reactions, makes the same decision - this indicates the presence of a certain nature in him. .

Knowing what character traits are manifested and dominated by a person, it is possible to predict how she will manifest herself in a given situation.

Character and traits

A character trait is an important part of a personality, it is a stable quality that determines the interaction of a person and the surrounding reality. This is a defining method of resolving emerging situations, so psychologists consider a trait of nature as a predictable personal behavior.


Variety of characters

A person acquires features of character in the course of his entire life span; individual traits of nature cannot be attributed to innate and characterological. In order to analyze and assess the personality, the psychologist not only determines the totality of individual characteristics, but also highlights their distinctive features.

It is character traits that are defined as the leading ones in the study and compilation of the psychological characteristics of a person.

But, defining, evaluating a person, studying the features of behavior in the social plan, the psychologist also uses knowledge of the content orientation of nature. It is defined in:

  • strength-weakness;
  • latitude-narrowness;
  • static-dynamic;
  • integrity-inconsistency;
  • integrity-fragmentation.

Such nuances constitute a general, complete description of a certain person.

List of personality traits

Human nature is the most complex cumulative combination of peculiar features, formed into a unique system . This order includes the most vivid, stable personal qualities, which are revealed in the gradations of human-society relationships:

Angry Bored Content capricious
Burely enjoyed upset exhausted
Relationship system Traits of the individual
Plus Negative
To self Picky Indulgence
Self-criticism Narcissism
Meekness boastfulness
Altruism Egocentrism
To other people Sociability Closure
complacency Callousness
Sincerity Deceit
Justice Injustice
Commonwealth Individualism
Sensitivity Callousness
Courtesy Shamelessness
Getting to work Organization Slackness
Mandatory Stupidity
Performance Sloppiness
Enterprise Inertia
Diligence Sloth
To items Economy Waste
Thoroughness negligence
Neatness Negligence

In addition to character traits included by psychologists in the gradation of relationships (a separate category), manifestations of nature in the moral, temperamental, cognitive and sthenic spheres were distinguished:

  • temperamental: gambling, sensuality, romance, liveliness, receptivity; passion, frivolity;
  • intellectual (cognitive): analyticity, flexibility, inquisitiveness, resourcefulness, efficiency, criticality, thoughtfulness;
  • sthenic (volitional): categorical, perseverance, obstinacy, stubbornness, purposefulness, timidity, courage, independence.
  • Many leading psychologists tend to believe that certain personality traits should be divided into two categories:

    1. Productive (motivational). Such traits push a person to commit certain acts and actions. This is the goal-feature.
    2. Instrumental. Giving personality during any activity individuality and way (manners) of action. These are traits.

    Allport gradation of character traits


    Allport theory

    The famous American psychologist Gordon Allport, an expert and developer of gradations of individual personality traits, divided personality traits into three classes:

    Dominant . Such features most clearly reveal the behavioral form: actions, activities of a certain person. These include: kindness, selfishness, greed, secrecy, gentleness, modesty, greed.

    Plain . They are equally manifested in all the numerous spheres of human life. These are: humanity, honesty, generosity, arrogance, altruism, egocentrism, cordiality, openness.

    Secondary . These nuances do not have a particular effect on behavioral responses. These are not dominant behaviors. These include musicality, poetry, diligence, diligence.

    A strong relationship is formed between the traits of nature existing in a person. This regularity forms the final character of the individual.

    But any existing structure has its own hierarchy. The warehouse of man was no exception. This nuance is traced in Allport's proposed gradation structure, where minor features can be suppressed by dominant ones. But in order to predict the act of a person, it is necessary to focus on the totality of the features of nature .

    What is typicality and individuality

    In the manifestation of the nature of each personality is always a reflection of the individual and typical. This is a harmonious combination of personal qualities, because the typical serves as the basis for identifying the individual.

    What is a typical character . When a person has a certain set of traits that are the same (common) for a particular group of people, such a warehouse is called typical. Like a mirror, it reflects the accepted and habitual conditions for the existence of a particular group.

    Also, typical features depend on the warehouse (certain type of nature). They are also a condition for the appearance of a behavioral type of character, in the category of which a person is “recorded”.

    Having understood exactly what features are inherent in a given personality, a person can make an average (typical) psychological portrait and assign a certain type of temperament. For example:

    Positive Negative
    Choleric
    Activity Intemperance
    Energy Hot temper
    Sociability Aggressiveness
    Decisiveness Irritability
    Initiative Rudeness in communication
    Impulsivity Behavior instability
    Phlegmatic
    Perseverance Low activity
    Performance Slowness
    Tranquility Inactivity
    Uncommunicative
    Reliability Individualism
    Integrity Sloth
    Sanguine
    Sociability Monotonicity aversion
    Activity Surface
    Kindness Lack of persistence
    Adaptability Poor perseverance
    Cheerfulness Frivolity
    Courage Recklessness in actions
    resourcefulness Inability to concentrate
    Melancholic
    Sensitivity Closure
    impressionability Low activity
    Performance Uncommunicative
    Restraint Vulnerability
    cordiality Shyness
    Neatness Poor performance

    Such typical character traits corresponding to a certain temperament are observed in each (to one degree or another) representative of the group.

    Individual manifestation . Relationships between individuals always have an evaluative characteristic, they are manifested in a rich variety of behavioral reactions. The manifestation of individual traits of an individual is greatly influenced by emerging circumstances, a formed worldview and a certain environment.

    This feature is reflected in the brightness of various typical features of the individual. They are not the same in intensity and develop in each individual individually.

    Some typical traits are so powerful in a person that they become not just individual, but unique.

    In this case typicality develops by definition into individuality. This classification of personality helps to identify the negative characteristics of the individual that prevent them from expressing themselves and achieving a certain position in society.

    Working on oneself, analyzing and correcting shortcomings in one's own character, each person creates the life he aspires to.

    In order to form an opinion about a person, it is enough just to characterize him, that is, to pick up words that characterize the person. What words, arguments or beliefs would be appropriate for this? For example, the formulation of qualities: he is serious, attentive, responsive, skillful, dexterous. And already to a person a completely different attitude from these words. Words mean a lot. The content of words is important for a person, his true face and his perception of reality. How to characterize a person? So let's take a look:

    What characterizes a person?

    It is necessary to write out the individual qualities of a person, which undoubtedly characterize him as a person. What is he?

    • Creativity: a person is able to think creatively, find a way out in hopeless situations.

    • Neatness: a person is able to be always neat and clean.

    • Extrovert or introvert

    • Whether the employee is in the public interest.
    • How he compares his goals in social terms.
    • how his goals are achieved.
    • Is a person expected to move up the career ladder, career growth

    Adjectives that characterize a person

    What adjectives characterize a person? Let's give examples of adjectives. So:

    • Adjectives of masculinity: dexterous, strong, strong, courageous.
    • Adjectives of ability: resourceful, attentive, intelligent, quick-witted
    • Adjectives of labor discipline: lazy, industrious, active, enterprising
    • Personality adjectives: benevolent, decent, considerate, caring, hyperactive, mercantile, and so on.
    • Adjectives that characterize character accentuation: hysteroid type, hyperthymic, asthenoneurotic, psychasthenic, schizoid and so on.

    Qualities that characterize a person

    What characterizes a person as a person? Such qualities include, for example: business acumen, determination, perseverance in achieving goals, in finding a way out of any conflict situations, natural intelligence and delicacy, intuition, an adequate assessment of the situation.

    Qualities that characterize a person should be used not only in resumes, interviews or for special characteristics, to move up the career ladder - words that define personality traits are necessary for all of us. Because we are human and because we have a need for them. What are these words? Words are compliments, words that help to understand the essence of a person, his character, ambitions and temperament. Let's take a look at them. Traits that characterize a person:

    Here accentuations of the character of the personality may come up, by which one can understand the dominant character of the personality:

    1. Hysteroid or demonstrative type. His features: egocentrism, selfishness, the need for recognition of actions and personal characteristics, a thirst for attention.
    2. Hyperthymic type. Its main features: sociability, mobility, independence.
    3. Asthenoneurotic type - anxiety, fatigue during communication, irritability
    4. Psychosthenic type - indecision, love of introspection, and endless reasoning
    5. Schizoid type - isolation, detachment from what is happening around, lack of sociability.
    6. Sensitive - timidity, shyness, touchiness, sensitivity, impressionability.
    7. Epileptoid or excitable - melancholy-malicious mood. Low speed of thinking, emotional inertness, scrupulousness, conservatism.

    9. Infantile dependent - an eternal child who does not take responsibility for his actions and prefers to delegate them to others.
    10. Unstable type - craving for entertainment, pleasure, idleness, lack of will, weakness, cowardice

    The point is that all words, traits, qualities, adjectives that characterize a person are conditional. Why? What is it expressed in? In the following: firstly, everything is subjective. Who evaluates that Vasya is weak and Petya is strong? Who are the judges? All opinions, all definitions and views on life are conditional. You can't just think in a certain way. Because for one beloved or one boss, Vasya is the best husband or worker, one that fits his psychotype, and for another boss with a different temperament, the same Vasya is an inappropriate employee, an inept organizer. Because there is no person on earth objective enough to stick a label to one and not to another. Because, no matter how objective and philosophically thinking person, wise and understanding psychologist, he is not able to assess the situation with the measure of objectivity that this person may and needs! And our task is to attract people who shine with us on the same wavelength.

    Character is the manifestation of an emotional reaction in a person's behavior in various relationships and specific situations. The character of a certain person and all his features of the manifestation of qualities are a consequence of upbringing and living conditions in a social society.

    • Patience, fortitude and endurance.
    • Craving for justice and compassion.
    • From the negative: laziness, pessimism, hypocrisy and foul language.

    It is easy to identify a Russian person by temperament, foreign nations associate a Russian person as someone who loves to walk "in a big way", they were always surprised by the generosity, steadfastness and selflessness of the Russian people. Only a Russian person has an original sense of humor, which perplexes foreign brethren. Many foreign men believe that a Russian woman is the best companion for life, as she has responsiveness, humanity, loyalty and compassion.

    Also a decent barrier for foreigners is the study of the Russian language, it is considered the most difficult because of the excessive emotionality and double meaning of the same words. The qualities in people of the Russian warehouse, their attitude towards other people of the social environment, are more inclined to respect religious traditions. Attitude towards Christianity, observance of religious rites begins with the origins of the formation of the Slavic race.
