Children Need Encouraged

When was the last time you told your child you are proud of them? I don't think we tell our children what great people they are enough. I know I don't. It is unhealthy for them to hear only the bad about who they are. People are trying to eat better so their bodies will be healthier but what about what kids are fed verbally? That sticks with them long after the vegetables are gone. When they are corrected for something they do wrong you need to let them know it is the behavior you do not like. When they are led to believe that everything they do is wrong it gives them the feeling they will never measure up. That in itself could lead to bad behavior because they start to feel you are expecting it anyway besides they can do no better. Just think about yourself for a few minutes. If your boss is always yelling at you, even when you feel certain it was a great job how do you feel? I know how awful I feel for a long time after. If we are honest with
ourselves most all of us do. It is no different with kids, they are little people remember. Try to make a new habit if you don't already once a day to tell your kid or kids how special they are and you are proud of them. If you are serious they will know. Try it and see if there is a difference. If I could I would also tell our yelling bosses to take the same approach. Everyone is special and should be treated with respect.
