Word’s are powerful. They shape who we are, how we feel, the direction we are headed in life. Have you though about the words you are communicating to your children on a daily basis. Your words as a parent have the power to mold the heart of a child. They are listening. They need help definine both reality and truth. Here are some things I think we need to keep saying to our kids no matter how old they are…
- I love you!
- I am blessed to be your parents.
- I’m sorry.
- God made you and has a plan for you.
- I love your mom (or dad for all the ladies out there)
- Go for it, you can do it.
- This is what God is teaching me…
- I believe in you.
- I’m not too busy, tell me what is going on.
- I know this is hard…don’t give up.
- Your beautiful. (or you are the man if you have boys!)
- You are incredible.
- What do you think the wise choice is?
- Jesus is amazing.
- You can be a leader…step up!
