Repeat Yourself

Fifty percent of our speaking involves the recycling of the same 100 words. Even in Shakespeare's works, 40 words make up forty percent of the text in his plays. We repeat words a lot, so why not make them positive words that will encourage our children?

How many "I love you" and "I'm proud of you because..." statements have you spoken lately to your children? No matter how many times, it's still not enough. Intentionally repeat yourself often.
