"She's afraid of spiders."
"You want everything now."
"He cries every time I leave."
"She doesn't like baths."
"He doesn't like vegetables."
A child's self image is being formed all the time.
Our words are powerful.
Let our words be powerfully positive.
"You are still learning to like spiders."
"You are learning to wait for a turn."
"You are learning to be at kindergarten while I go to the gym."
"I like the way you wash yourself in the bath."
" I like the way you try different vegetables." "I like the way you try a little of each vegetable."
Powerfully positive. Chris Critic
