It is the dream of most parents to bring up their children in the best way they can. It is important to bring up your children in a way that they will learn to focus more on the positives in life and not the negatives.
You should be very keen on what you tell your children. Encouraging words can have a great impact on your children for a long period of time.
Here are three things you should tell your children every day.
1. 'I love you'
Most parents think there is no need for saying these words since they do many things to show how much they love their children. However, it is important to note that words have power thus your child needs to hear these words every day. When you tell your child that you love them, they feel special, loved and cared for.
2. 'I believe in you'
Informing your children that you believe in them helps in building their self-esteem and confidence. Let your children know that you are proud of them whenever they achieve something or make good choices. This gives them the motivation to do much more.
3. 'You can try again tomorrow'
You should let your children know that no one is perfect and we all learn from making mistakes. Guide them to understand that failure does not mean that they are incapable and that they should never give up on the first sight of defeat.
