As moms, we say SO many things to our kids every single day. It’s impossible to say it all exactly right. But this article on the TinyBeans website caught our attention because it examines common phrases many of us have said to our kids without thinking about how our kids might be hearing and/or understanding it.
Some of these phrases sound like harmless comments but might have an impact we haven’t thought through. (Things like “You’re so smart!” “Don’t talk to strangers.” “Be careful! You’re going to hurt yourself.”)
Check out this article titled “9 Harmless Phrases That Hurt Kids More Than You Think,” by Priscilla Blossom on the Tiny Beans website.
