Today, I’d like to share with you one of my all-time favorite quotes by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish from their book, How to Talk So Your Kids Will Listen and Listen So Your Kids Will Talk:
“Let us be different in our homes. Let us realize that along with food, shelter, and clothing, we have another obligation to our children, and that is to affirm their “rightness.” The whole world will tell them what’s wrong with them—loud and often. Our job is to let our children know what’s right about them.”
It’s so easy to get caught up in the frustrations of everyday life with kids and lose sight of what really matters. Please make a copy of this quote and put it up where you can read it often to stay motivated and focused on what’s really important.
