Recently my son told me all I ever say is negative things to him. Although I know I don't "always" say negative things, I think I was blind to how much I was saying things that tore down rather than encourage and build up.
I believe It's a common blind spot. We can get in such a rut of saying things over and over without paying attention to the messages we're communicating.
This video is a reminder to me to always be aware of my tone and choice of words to my children. If they think I'm "always" negative, I should take this as a signal to be more alert and make sure I'm communicating my love and acceptance to them with only positive, uplifting messages.
