It’s great that as time goes on and we open our eyes and our minds we come to revelations that just make us sit back and think.
I am sure that those of you who read my note from yesterday are thinking about things just a bit differently, but here is another revelation…
This one didn’t take 6 hours in the car, I woke up to it.
This is for you parents out there. Our kids are very easily influenced by what we say. When you think its okay to name call out of jest at first it effects them and then they take it on as normal.
So, if you are a parent that in a fun way calls your child something other than names that are uplifting then think twice.
I laid in bet last night eyes wide open. Thinking. Praying and trying to understand why I thought it was okay for other people to call me names that were not uplifting. Perhaps its because I got used to it growing up. Definitely not a way to sort out self esteem at an early age.
The thing is, as parents we all want whats best for our children…no matter what. So why on earth would we use any other words as endearing words other than those that will uplift our children. I know we need to discipline, but using words like dork or bonehead even in a joking way just don’t seem right anymore.
Love your children…. In all ways….especially when you are speaking to them.
