The 7 Things Kids Need To Hear You Say

In the world we live in, it can be hard to find the time to spend
with our kids.  Mom and dad guilt is high and relationships
and health can get strained.  Here are 7 things your kids
need to hear you say:

"As long as you did your best."  Winning isn't everything
and failures are a part of life.  It's nothing to get stressed
out about - just reassure them that they did the best they could
with the resources they had at the time.  It's not a label for
their entire life."I love you." Saying the words out loud mean more
than any toy, gift, or game.  Expressions of love such as a
hug releases the hormone oxytocin, which immediately reduces stress
and can override fears and pain."Be yourself. The people will
change around you." Being yourself means that you do, say, and act
according to what is important to you. The local and global
community around us is always changing."I'm proud of you."  No
matter how the day goes, they need to know that they have your
support.  "Be clear on what you value." Let them know that
being clear on what they value will help them in any situation to
make the best decision for them."Love starts with love
itself."  This is the old adage that you can't pour from an
empty cup.  If you don't feel love, you can't give or receive
love.  Loving yourself creates a bond with the one person
who's guaranteed to always be there for you: you.  The
security that comes with high self worth helps to support all 3
areas of the brain, especially during the critical early years of
development."No problem is too embarrassing. I'm here to help."
Shame and guilt in children can carry into adulthood.  They
need to know that you're in their corner, no matter what.

A wise man once said, "It's not about getting it right. It's
about getting it started." Thanks, Benjamin J.
Harvey. 

Try one or two of these at first, in writing if the situation
warrants it, then build on that.  It will only take a few
moments out of your day but it can make a lifetime's worth of
difference.
