We do our absolute best to be positive and uplifting especially when it comes to talking with out children however, sometimes we get so caught up in the day and what’s going on we tend to forget to say the things they want to hear from us.
I am guilty of just saying things to get my kids to go play or to go have time alone when really I do mean well. I need to change my word usage so it doesn’t sound like I’m pushing them away or making it seem like I don’t care, when I do. Sometimes I am just tired so I say "Okay cool go play..That's nice...awesome" When really I should be putting more of an effort into what I am saying and how I am saying it. I love my children and I deeply care about what they are doing and saying but sometimes yeah, I sound like I brush things off.
We want our children to know we love and support them so say it. Positively and in every situation you can. Even as our children age they act like they are cool or that they don't care but in reality we will ALWAYS make a huge impact on them and their lives. They need to know no matter what they go through good or bad we always are there to lift them up and keep them going.
I have decided I am going to work on myself and work on positive parenting. Sure I will forever make mistakes as a parent but there are little things that I can do every day to improve the way I interact with my kids. I sat down and really focused on what I want to say to my kids vs what I do say. There are so many positive remarks and responses I hope that by following my own example I can make a positive impact on them. I strive every day to be the best mom that I can be but I have a lot of self growth to do. Happy kids start with the parents so let’s take the positive steps so we can create happy kids.

These are such positive and kind things to say to your children. You are opening doors allowing them to understand and feel safe knowing that you are there to always support them. Even your teenage child or even your GROWN child. Say something every morning even if you come off as annoying because you have no idea what they have going on at school or with friends or even at work.
Our children need us so be there. Listen to them and reassure them. Let them know no matter how young or how old they always have your support and guidance. Even on our hard days we have to remember they are sponges and will remember our words for a long time.
It doesn’t matter how old they get they will always want your love and to hear your kind words.
i am nervous to tell my family about my pregnancy. they don't like my husband, and we have already miscarried once. i just wish someone would be happy for me.
i wish i could get a hotel room to myself for the night just to be alone.
if i left...would anyone even notice. i feel like i am a burden to my home and to my family. i feel that i cause more stress than anything else. why do i get caught up in these feelings. it sucks.
