Parents how oftn do you affirm or encourage your child?

Words of affirmation:

• I am so glad that you are my child.
• When God gave you to me, He gave me a precious blessing.
• You are a great child.
• Thanks for cleaning your room.
• I admire your talbe manners.
• You\’re a joy or a blessing.
• I appreciate you.
• Thanks for helping me to tidy the house before the visitors come.
• I knew you could do it.
• You look beautiful
• That was so creative.

Unfortunately parents tend to often compare siblings, demand perfection and make harsh and rash comments in anger. Parents should have a pause button. When they do slip out parents can take positive steps can take steps to prepare the damamge. It is good for child and parent if a parent can say I am sorry.

When you have visitors be a bit more understanding of your children\’s exitement.

Prepare your children for a party and what you want them to do.

Tomorrow I am going to talk on parents and perfectionism. Tuck your child into bed tonight with an extra hug and a kiss and a word of affirmation.
