68 Encouraging Phrases To Tell Your Child

For young children, this power is intensified as these little potatoes hold and cling on to each and every word that we say. The words that we say and the way that we say them carry the power to shape and construct the way our children view the world. They also have the ability to control how they behave in the world even into adulthood.
