What Things that you must tell your child
In a world where saying “no” is usually a lot easier than saying “yes,” it is important to bring up children who don’t feel that negativity has a higher value than positivity. Encouraging words can have a truly lasting effect on your kiddos years and years after you’ve said them, so we should choose to use phrases that will make them feel good about themselves inside and out, things that will stick with them as words that got them through tough times.
Whether you want to tell them how great they were at playing a sport or how much you love spending time with them, here are best positive things to say to your child on a daily basis.
