Even though I didn't come up with the sayings I absolutely believe in them and strive to remember them on a daily basis. A lot of them I do say to my boys, but some I don't and really should so I'm hoping that by posting this blog I will be reminded of them more often and they will become as second nature as the easiest one that I tell them at least 3-4 times per day...which is of course...I Love You!
Here they are:
(1) "I Love You" - Say it to them as often as you like!
(2) "I like it when you..." - Talk about positive aspects of their behavior
(3) "You make me happy" - This makes them feel valuable
(4) "I'm proud of you" - They need to hear they are doing a good job, even when it's hard
(5) "You are special" - Let them know their uniqueness is strength
(6) "I trust you" - Building a foundation of trust raises an honest person
(7) "I believe in you" - Teach them how valuable they are
(8) "I know you can do this" - Encourage them to never give up
(9) "I am grateful for you" - Be specific, this can really make their day!
From the FB page that this came from came another great saying....Don't let a single day go by without telling your kids how you feel.
These two are the reason I do everything in my life...and why I strive to be the very best mother that I can be. They make me want to be a better person and make me proud to see the little men that they are becoming. I want them to know how much I love them and how special they are to me.
