7 Statements You MUST Say To Your Kids
If you could choose just seven statements to share with children, what would they be?
These seven statements are simple to share, yet guaranteed to profoundly impact children.
They are:
• I believe in you. (make sure you do)
• You can count on me. (make sure they can)
• I treasure you. (prove it)
• I'm sorry, please forgive me. (be humble)
• Because. (use this authority card wisely)
• No. (have a good reason)
• I love you. (again...prove it)
What children hear from trusted adults significantly influences their self-image, their current relationships, and future relationships—including their most important relationship, the one they have with God.
