    Great post! It a good reminder to us as parents and adults in general that we have to be careful what we say to our children. Being in the classroom every day, I am able to see the effects of negative talking on children.

    There’s SO much truth in this. Such a beautiful post. ? I have actually never thought of that. At what point do we start picking ourselves apart?….Kids absolutely pay attention to every single, little bitty thing we do and say.

    Thank you for that reminder! ?

    Great post! Exactly right, we are role models and they watch us at all times and adapt our behaviour and thinking.
    Love the quotes

    Great post. It is so true and not everyone realizes it until it is too late. I’ve been negative on myself for many years and I see my daughter doing the same thing.

    Hi Candice, thanks for addressing this very important topic. Love the happiness quotes. Sadly, when our kids hear out negative self-talk and then they start to mimic it, that can lead to anxiety. Another great tool is to learn lovingkindness meditation. I talk about this on my site.

    Such an important topic, thanks for writing about this. We all need to get to the point of being confident and loving ourselves. Even when not a particularly good day, someone is watching how we handle it! When they see us rise above, they are inspired (even if they don’t have the words to express it). But wait, maybe they do: I am beautiful says it all!

    It’s funny because this is something my therapist and I talk about on an almost constant basis. She has always asked me; “What does your inner voice sound like, your parnets or yourself?” It’s almost always my parents and usually what they have to say is harmful in regards to my own long term health. It’s crazy how much our parents can influence us as kids and how their words can affect us as adults.
