#43 - Harnessing the Power of Indelible Words
Our words are powerful, particularly as we use them with our kids. In this episode, Billy & Joy talk through a strategy of how to use words well and how to avoid common pitfalls in our families. They talk about the danger in making comparison statements and how to make statements that will be memorable (in a good way!)
Talk about this:
In light of where your kids are CURRENTLY... what message do they need most from you?
What are some creative ways to deliver that message?
What (if any) unintended messages are you most at risk of sending? How do you prevent them?
