If calling your children names, putting them down, screaming at them, telling them to go away, calling them stupid or an idiot, refusing to spend time with them, not supporting them in their sports etc, not following through with your promises or threatening to hurt them, hitting them out of anger can destroy your child’s self-worth, make them think they don’t matter, not valued, they’re stupid for having goals and dreams, make them feel they’re not heard and their feelings not validated and even not loved…….
Imagine how your child would flourish if they were built up, encouraged, reassured they’re loved and valued, heard, shown empathy and compassion, supported, spoken to gently, held lovingly, built up, believed in and cheered on.
Our words have the power to either tear down our children’s self-worth or build their self-esteem.
