You are what you're told
Roisin Bergin, Experienced Kids & Teens Yoga/ Mindset Teacher
When we find the opportunities to praise our children, to see them for who they truly are, to be able to separate them from their behaviour we can have a massive influence for years to come. What our children hear about themselves, what we say to and about our children becomes their inner voice for years to come.
We spend a lot of time talking to and about our children. Yet, how often are we telling them the good stuff, focusing on the positive aspects and focusing on what it is they are trying to achieve?
Here are some positive sentences that you can use:
• You are so loved
