Little Words

How do we speak to our children?  This is something I have been challenged with recently.  Just speaking nicely.  It is easy to just saying something flippant and not think about the effects on your children.  I have been choosing deliberately to love more and correct less - of course, I correct when it is needed, but I focus on loving more.  What does that mean?  That means for every correction I purposefully give two positives throughout the day, things that make each of my children unique, things that make them want to to do good.  I mean, really take time to look into your children's eyes and tell them good things about themselves, they need it. I found this nifty little tool on Pinterest (don't you just love Pinterest?!?) that demonstrates different ways you can tell your child you love them.

Take time this week to focus on being kind to your child, to speak love, and to look into their eyes.  It will change both yours and their life!
