We’ve all heard the quote that the way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice…….personally this scares me a bit! As parents we have a responsibility to nurture our child’s inner voice with positive encouragement and motivation.
Below are 26 easy phrases to weave into your daily interactions with your kids:
-

-
