Power of Words
Have you ever thought about what words you say to your children? I’m not necessarily talking about the four letter words that slip out of our mouths at times. More so it’s what words we say and what action it brings about in our children. When you speak to your child are you concerned with building them up or tearing them down?

Building children up with our words is not an easy task. We as parents have a huge responsibility bringing up the next generation of adults. It’s important to recognize how your child responds to the words you use and the tone you take with them. I was reminded of this point this morning as my oldest decided to get up at 5 a.m. and not go back to sleep. I wanted to stress to him the importance of getting a good night’s rest and the fact that he needed more sleep. Instead my words dampened his morning spirit as my tone was harsher than it needed to be. Thus I realized my point that I was attempting to make wasn’t made at all. Instead I made a totally separate point of just expressing how frustrated I was.
