It is very important for every parent to teach their child that negativity has a higher value than positivity. Encouraging words will surely have a longer effect on your kids. You need to be very careful while you are speaking to your child because whatever you will speak-negative or positive it will leave a lifetime impact on them.
Our children inherit those things only which they see. So, whether you want to tell them how great they were at playing a sport or how much you love spending time with them, here are some positive and encouraging things to say to your child on a daily basis.

Sprinkling these positive things to say to your child into everyday conversation isn’t hard. Words inspire, motivate, and build self-esteem. Language matters! Pay attention to the words you use around your kids. Set an intention to consciously say at least three positive affirmations to your child daily, until it becomes a habit. The confidence and self-worth you build now will help your little ones grow into healthy, happy adults.
