Speak hope

Our children are effected by the motivation we give them. Many of our children are constantly surrounded by negative demotivational talk and attitudes. My mother used to tell me to be careful what I said because I may speak it into existence. The same goes for parents when they speak to their children. We should build our children up, not talk down to them or call them negative names, especially if we're adults. How we speak to our children will have a lasting effect in their lives. Speak hope, be constructive, show love, build up, and don't tear-down.

Just another thought to consider.
