There are so many things we want our children to know and to
learn. Sometimes it’s hard to pare that list down into manageable chunks that
are easy to digest and incorporate.
Here are six critical life messages that bear
repeating for young people.
Every child
should have these messages reinforced every day, because they form the basis of
a feeling of self-worth.
They are deceptively simple, but
surprisingly powerful:
Message
Number One: “I believe in you.”
Message
Number Two: “I trust in you.”
Message Number Three: “I know you
can handle life’s situations.”
Message Number Four: “You are
listened to.”
Message Number Five: “You are cared
for.”
Message Number Six: “You are very
important to me.”
It’s easy
to see how a child who gets these messages on a regular basis, whether
verbally, or through actions, will be well-equipped to handle life’s challenges
and learn well in school.
When you
think of it, anyone of any age could benefit from these messages.
