EP 163: MAMA SAID You’re the ___ Kid

Hey Moms! We are beyond excited to share this episode of the Gather Moms podcast with you!

We are diving into the labels and tags we often assign to our kids and discuss the profound impact these labels can have on them. It is so important to affirm our children! Let carefully nurture our children’s hearts and focus on their intrinsic value. We all know our words have a lasting effect so let’s use them for good!

Three main points to consider:

Flipping the Coin: Turn negative labels (like “wild” or “bossy”) into their positive counterparts (like “energetic” or “leader”) to highlight the strengths behind challenging behaviors.

Eliminating Loaded Language: Avoid terms like “always” and “never” that exaggerate and unjustly define a child’s actions, focusing instead on specific behaviors that need addressing.

Behavior over Person: Critique actions instead of character, encouraging growth and learning from mistakes without defining the child by those mistakes.

Making the most of today resource.
