Hi, Friend!
Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, it’s easy to tell our kids what they are doing wrong and point out their flaws. Are you thinking, “What? I never do that!”
Have you ever said, “You never listen,” or “You always take forever to do anything”? Or maybe you tell them, “Why can’t you just clean up like your brother?”.
Have you ever noticed that those one-liners don’t actually work when it comes to motivating your kids? If you’re putting a globally generalized label on their actions, then that’s soon what they start to believe about themselves.
In today’s episode, we are talking about how to rephrase what we say in the heat of the moment when our kids are choosing not to listen or when our kids give up so easily. We need to rethink whether or not our words are lifting our kids up or putting them down, and we are exploring it all in episode 43!
I hope you find these tips to be successful for you and your littles!
Thanks for listening!
