Words of Affirmation are a universal love language. Carefully selected words can make us feel great!
My favorite line that I learned from Janet Mancini and have been using for years is: “Of all the boys (or girls) in the world. I’m so glad that God picked YOU to be my son!”
My boys beam when they hear me say this!
Note for Busy Moms: Speak positively about your child around other people. Never let them hear you speaking poorly about them. When I was growing up people thought my sister and I were perfect. We’re far from it! However, my parents only shared the good things we did…. not the bad. That said, every parent needs a confidant. Find that person and share when you don’t have any little ears around.
