5–Minute Parenting: Tips to Help You Raise Competent, Godly Kids.
Your Words Matter
Welcome to Episode 2 of the 5-Minute Parenting Podcast.
- We know how someone’s harsh or critical words can hurt us even as adults. And it’s even more hurtful for a child who has no experience in knowing how to accept or reject or evaluate what they hear about themselves.
- It has been scientifically shown that in order for children to develop a positive view of themselves, they need at least five interactions to every one negative interaction. Education and Behavior.
- Kids don’t come into this world knowing they’re loved, special, have a purpose, and have the power to change the world. They have to be told this!
- God used only His words when He spoke the universe into existence. In the book of Genesis, we see God made us in His image and after His likeness. Therefore, we were created to be imitators of the way God operates. Our words have power!
- Proverbs 18:21 says “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Our tongue can be used as a weapon to harm and destroy or as a tool to build and heal.
- Below is a link to a list of short, positive phases you can use to encourage your child. You can download the PDF and print it out. Be deliberate about speaking and writing them in notes to put in your child’s lunchbox, leave them on their pillow at bedtime or under their plate at mealtime. Aim to give these positive affirmations at least 5x daily.
