Mind your Language
✍

When I was a young girl of around 14 years old, my stepmother had a quarrel with my mum and out of anger turned to me and said that I would never give birth to any child of my own because my womb was rotten. At the time she was saying this I was still a virgin but for some reason I believed this statement so much that when I met my husband I told him, after he proposed to me, that we should consider adoption because I could not have children. 

WORDS mean a lot to a child.  

I got so angry one day when my cousin told my 7 year old that she could not do anything at her age, meaning to a child is that she is useless! 
I saw my daughter stand there looking dejected, and because I knew where I was coming from, I quickly called my daughter and began to remind her of her chores in the house. 
I had to immediately change what was said in a fit of anger. She started to recount her chores and this put her in a good mood believing and knowing she was not useless. 

If I was not there she would have believed that she was useless and would have started having negative thoughts about herself. 

Negative words are NOT acceptable. 

Always use encouraging words to your children, it helps to build their self esteem. 

Encouraging words help children to stay the course. 

My questions.... 

What words do you say to your children or what do people say to them? 

What words were you told as a child that has made or deformed you to this day?

It is not that My father has never Answered me anytime I Scream 'papa' after school, When my detractors clamour For my naive neck.
