Parents are in charge of their child’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development. Parenting is a trial and error process. And children are unique. What might work for one, may not for another? We need to undergo testing and a lot of solutions before we can find what’s best for them. And in this article, we study the 9 positive words to say for your kids.
Parents learn from their mistakes. And the lesson they get is the application to their children to grow in a healthy and nurturing environment. We build our children’s foundation also from the words that we say. And parents set an example to them.
Here are the positive things to say for your child.
1. I love You.
Say it to them as often you like.
2. I like it when you…
Talk about positive aspects of their behavior.
3.You make me happy.
This makes them feel Valuable.
4. I am proud of you.
They need to hear their doing good job, even when it is hard.
5. You are special.
Let them know their uniqueness is a strength
6. I Trust you.
Building a foundation of trust raises an honest person.
7. I believe in you.
Teach them how valuable they are.
8. I know you can do this.
Encourage them to never give up.
9. I am grateful for you.
Be specific, This can really make their day.
“Speak to your children as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful and magical humans on earth, for what they believe is what they’ll become”
Of course, if you really want to bolster your child’s self-esteem, focus less on compliments and more on providing her with ample opportunities to learn new skills. Mastery, not praise, is the real self-esteem builder, Dr. Hallowell says. Fortunately, when it comes to the under-4 crowd, nearly everything they do is a chance to attain mastery—because it’s all new to them: learning to crawl, walk, feed and dress themselves, use the potty, and ride a tricycle. Our challenge is to stand back and let our children do for themselves what they’re capable of. “The great mistake good parents make is doing too much for their children,” Dr. Hallowell says.
While it can be difficult to watch our kids struggle, they’ll never know the thrill of mastery unless we allow them to risk failure. Few skills are perfected on a first try. It’s through practice that children achieve mastery. And through repeated experiences of mastery, they develop the can-do attitude that lets them approach future challenges with the zest and optimism that are central to a happy life.
