Children BELIEVE everything their parents tell them –
Whether it’s true or not!

Toddlers cannot determine the difference between
A “Joke” and the “Truth”.

The other day I was sitting in the doctors office and there was a little girl maybe about 18 months old toddling around. She kept falling.

Every time she would fall down her mother would laugh and say
“You are such a Klutz!”

Without exaggerating – I honestly believe the mom said this to her daughter about 5 times during the half hour period we were in the lobby.

I cringed every time she told her daughter “You are such a klutz!”  ….

I wanted to jump up and shout
“Why are you telling this precious child that she is a klutz?”
But instead, I decided to stay quiet.

For the life of me, I can never understand why parents tell their small children things like …

• “You’re a klutz”
• “You’re stupid”
• “You’re no good”
• “You’re to slow”

I also cannot understand why parents think that it’s so funny to have their small children say and do things that are/should be totally unacceptable – Such as …

• “Go hit your mom”
• “Tell your dad to shut up”
• “Beat up your sister”
• “Your mom is stupid”
• “You don’t have to listen to your dad”

What are you thinking when you say and do these things???

Think for just a moment …

• How would you feel if someone told you these things?
• Will this behavior be just as cute when your child is 13?

If you continue to tell your child these things, Chances are your child will grow up to be exactly what you’ve been telling them. The little girl at the doctors office will grow up to be a klutz. After all she’s been told that she’s a klutz her whole life.

The child that has been told they are stupid their whole life will do terrible in school. They will not feel capable of getting good grades because they believe they are stupid – regardless of how intelligent they really are.

You’re probably saying …

• “Yeah, right, What about all the successful people like Einstein who was told he was so dumb that he could never have a decent career.”

Or

• “I was told I was stupid and I turned out ok.”

First off Einstein was an exception to the rule. He had an innate ability to believe in himself and to overcome what others were saying. And no one really knows what kind of mental anguish he may have gone through.

Second, Are you really ok? What did you do to  overcome the negative remarks made to you?

Do you want your children to go through all the self doubt and challenges you did?

Of course you don’t!

Your child may not be as fortunate as the Top Motivational Speaker “Les Brown” He was labeled as “Mentally Retarded” by his schoolteachers …

His life was Transformed while in high school when one of his teachers quoted the following Simple Sentence …

“Someone else’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality”

Do you know how the words you spoke affected the person?

Mean and hurtful words can be devastating. Words are powerful. The things you say have a huge impact on others. They can also affect you. Yes, Be careful of your words because they really do matter.

Think about all the mean and hurtful things you’ve told yourself. Have you ever called yourself, stupid, ugly, fat, lazy?

Why are you berating yourself?

Do you even realize that your subconscious mind processes EVERY single word you say?

Once you’ve programmed these harsh statements into your subconscious, they begin to grow like wild weeds into your conscious – the result? Lack of Self-Esteem.

Every word you utter to yourself eventually becomes a belief. For example if you continually tell yourself “I suck at baseball.” You will more than likely never catch a fly ball or hit a home-run. You’ve set yourself up to be defeated before you even start. By beginning a thought or sentence negatively, success can never be realized.

Remember, you can never take back a word – once spoken. Saying “I’m Sorry” will not erase the pain that the insults or mean words created. The person on the receiving end may have taken that “one word” to heart and be changed forever.

In today’s fast paced stressful world we tend to hurt others due to our own anger, frustration and disappointments. Instead of attacking others with words, why not use kind words to embrace, nurture and inspire others – to brighten someones day! Remember, One Kind Word can also change someones life forever.

The words we say and think can transform the very essence of who we are. When something”slips” out of our mouth – Know that it began as words that we told ourselves.

So many parents these days are destroying their children s self-esteem with unkind words. Kids are vulnerable to every word spoken to them. They believe every word spoke to them. Don’t discipline your child with unkind words – or call them stupid or idiot or ???

“If you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all.”

THINK before you speak your next word. Choose your words wisely. Understand that one word can positively or negatively affect your life or someone else s life forever.
