Step 7 in Positive Parenting
Welcome to the world of the mindful language
If the words
NEVER
ALWAYS and
AGAIN
are removed from your messages to your child, you already changed your language for the better.
And if the
HAVE TO
MUST
NEED TO and
SHOULD
are gone too, you deserve applause.
These words are deeply ingrained in our daily talk and are not easy to remove.
But it can be done with a little focus, willingness, and commitment.
What statements did you hear as a child in your family that made you feel insignificant or that
you don't belong unconditionally? Take a moment to reflect and write it down if you want.
Words create a reality
Below you will find a document with a list of sentences to learn the difference between
discouraging and empowering statements.
Talk to you soon!
Warmly,
