Reminder to me

Words You Should Never Say
Your words and how you say them have inestimable impact on your child's sense of self worth. Children never grow out of needing heavy doses of praise, no matter what their age.
The 5-to-1 praise principle is a good rule of thumb to follow: balance every negative comment you make to a child with five positive comments. Think before you speak. Ask yourself if what you want to say will build up or tear down your child. Each day, look for ways to affirm your child’s unique giftedness and personality. Encourage others in the family to do the same with each other.
