What we say to our children becomes their inner voice.

What you are saying is all true but with doing all that you have have to draw the line. Make it clear what is acceptable and what is not and explain to them the reason why not.

Thank you Grace for that contribution. Someone said, “it is not the words we speak that are remembered but the way the words made a person to feel”. This is the key message, some people speak in the worst situations and healing and restoration take place while others speak only to leave their hearers beaten and bruised making them feel worse than they really are. Another proverb says “A gentle answer [or word] quiets anger, but a harsh one stirs it up”.

Uncle your truely right….for the time I’ve been a childminder at a kindergarten….. I’ve let a lot and all you have said is right…..what we say to the child…..is far more important…. They are vulnerable to us…..its us the people around them that make there world we create everything …..there behaviour…… The way….they move…talk…and interact with other people….. Surely…..even what we call them we create it………one more thing……the way we treat them is the way they will treat other…..if they do wrong and we shout out at them they will shout too……surprising one day I was talking with a little girl…..my director’s two year and half baby….I shouted at her because she had done something wrong….she told me Miss Ann don’t shout me… I don’t like it…..this means……we correct the children not by reacting harshly to them but bringing them close to us…..with love and show them that this is wrong and that is right………as a parent to be…..truly uncle your right…..we make what our children become……..thanks for being a great dad and uncle………..

Words have real power. God spoke the world into being by the power of His words, we must be careful what we speak over our children if said negatively it will manifest negatively in their lives. Let speak positively using the Word of God and whatever we decree positively it shall be established in Jesus Mighty Name
