Phrase and conversation
Expressions
1. I love you. – Most children are quick to say this to people in
their own home, but often times neglect to say it to important people in their
lives because they don't hear their own parents saying it outside of their
walls. These three little words can make a world of difference when spoke to
others outside their close circle of family they live with daily.
2. I like that. – By the time children are teens, it is difficult to
know what they like. This simple phrase may be something little children say a
lot when they are younger but it doesn't take long before they stop using it
and you lose connection with what really is important to them. As parents, we
can demonstrate this daily, not just at gift giving times, by telling people
around you when you like something. It can be a gesture, a favorite book, a
movie, a place, a food or a memory.
3. You make me happy. – Children LOVE to please their parents and that
doesn't change when they get older, but their perspective does. Often times,
children think their parents are their enemies and it is just because we lose
the communication with them to let them know when we make each other happy.
This is simple to do for them and the more you do it, the more they will use
this phrase and bless you when you least expect it. Think about things that
they struggle with and if they do on their own, be sure to let them know ‘you
make me happy', or when they kiss you in front of friends (this is a big one
for boys!).
4. Please. – We expect so much from our children, and this proves
it as it is one of the first words parents try to teach their children to say
and enforce around other people. We can demonstrate it in our own lives by
adding it to how we speak to others. Recently, I have noticed how little adults
use this word. Here are a few examples: “Pass the ketchup”, “Hold the door”,
“Get the mail”, “Do the dishes” and “Get the phone”. – these were in my own
home and all by adults. Just adding that one word does a lot in how we act
toward other people.
5. Thank you. – We all say this when it comes to big things, but being thankful comes from the heart of gratitude and this only builds when you can appreciate the small things. Thank you for taking me to school or homeschooling me today, helping me with the dishes, cleaning out the car, adding a special treat to my lunch or taking a walk with me. We miss a lot of opportunity to say thank you for the little things, but it is the little things that children notice, but that will fade away if you don't keep it alive and then you will have children who are only thankful for the big things in life.
6. You're welcome. – Going back to the whole gratitude of the heart, this
phrase is quickly disappearing in our adult conversations with those who are
closest in our lives. It is the phrase that allows us to feel good about
something we did, although some may think that the ‘thank you' does that, but
for those who have really given to others, they know the joy that comes from
saying ‘you're welcome'. Children should be able to feel that all the
time, as well.
7. I was wrong. – This is probably one of the most difficult phrases to
say in the English language, but it is so important to all relationships on
earth. It takes a humble person to use the phrase quickly and to admit their
error in front of others. Parents are losing a great deal of teaching power and
relationship building if they fail to admit when they are wrong to their
children. A parent that uses this phrase willingly and openly with their
children will have one of the best relationships with them in their teen years
and beyond.
8. You’re right. – We all like to hear we are right, especially when we
‘know it', but when someone else says it to you, especially when coupled with
the ‘I was wrong' phrase, it can really make a world of difference in a
situation. With children, they need to learn how to say this when they have
done something that they know they shouldn't have done and is being corrected.
It is one way to teach them how to deal with conflict and to restore peace in
relationships that are important to them. Because let's face it, we all can't
be right all the time.
9. Will you forgive me? – In our home, we have never allowed the phrase
“I'm sorry” to be used for an acted that was done on purpose. We allow “I'm sorry”
for accidental things like bumping into someone at the store because you didn't
see them, or dropping something. These acts were not intentional, so “I'm
sorry” is appropriate for those situations. However, when something is
intentional like being mean, lying or disobeying, we always require for the
person in the wrong to say, “Will you forgive me?” In our experience, it
eliminates the attitude that comes with the required “I'm sorry.” because it is
more about asking the person wronged to restore what they damaged.
10. You’re forgiven. – Forgiveness is something we all seek in our relationships. We don't want to live with the feeling of disappointing someone that is important to us, so when you are given the apology with a request for forgiveness, which also is an acknowledgement of intentional wrong, not of an accident, it is always easier to forgive them.
11. You are hurting my feelings. – Children know how to let
others understand that they are hurt by something, but it is normally done
physically at a young age. If you don't teach your child to voice their
feelings, this type of physical reaction to being hurt by someone's action will
quickly become habit and then you will have a very angry child that will often
times get in trouble because they aren't able to express their feelings without
the physical reaction.
12. That was kind (of you). – As important as it is to communicate when
others have hurt your feelings, it is important to praise people when they have
done something nice to you. Children can learn this when a child shares a toy
or a snack. Adults can emulate when a friend sends a card or a text that
uplifts our spirit. Thank you notes are disappearing in our culture but it has
always been a tangible way to show something that you appreciated their gesture
of kindness and I would recommend making it part of your child's training.
13. You are beautiful. – Our culture has taken away the self-esteem of many
people and it starts with young children. Little girls want to be princesses,
but as they grow, they begin to feel clumsy and unattractive because when they
look in the mirror they don't see the princess they have always wanted to be.
We praise our children so much in their cute stages and for whatever reason, we
stop praising our children's beauty around the same time that they grow into
this stage of low self-esteem. Praising them will give them the ability to
praise others and it is really contagious. I get so much joy to hear my young
boys tell me how pretty I am when I come out of my room with a new outfit.
Their wives will thank me later.
14. That looks nice on you. – Encouragement in our society is disappearing,
as well. As an adult, I feel awkward when others compliment me because of
something that I'm wearing because I'm not sure how I should respond. I
normally say, “Thank you” and change the subject, but then a few minutes later,
I realize that I should have complimented them back or should I? Finally, I
realized that I was going to always let another woman know when she is wearing
something that makes her shine and it is a good thing to teach our children.
The more they learn to compliment others for the positive things, the more likely
the will not be focused on the negative things we all have that quickly leads
to bullying or childhood meanness.
15. I'm feeling angry. – Every person has to learn how to deal with anger, especially if they haven't learned how to communicate that someone is hurting their feelings. Stored up anger is dangerous and never leads to a good thing. Anger is part of our emotions, but we need to learn how to respond to it without sinning by hurting others. Acknowledging it and having a plan to overcome the anger is important.
16. Are you upset? – Recognizing when you may have hurt someone feeling is
not as hard as it seems, if you have come to know the person well enough.
Spouse know when the other is upset at them, but asking isn't something that
they really want to do, especially if they have issues with anger. Seeing the
signs of anger is important for parents, especially if you want to help them
learn to admit when they are angry and find a solution to working through it
without physically hurting someone. I'm always asking if someone is upset or
‘is something wrong' because I desire my children to choose a different path
and communicate their feelings differently than I have learned to deal with
mine. The more you do it, the easier it will be for them to recognize it
and work on the feeling themselves.
17. I'm tired. – Everyone I know can be emotional when tired, but we
don't always like to admit it.
18. Can I help you? – Who doesn't want children that will offer help
without being asked? A family that we knows demonstrates this better than
anyone we know. The mother has a servant's heart and it flows to her children.
There is hardly a time we get together that her children do not ask me ‘Is
there anything I can do to help you?' I have yet to have this implemented that
well with my own children, but I can say that they have learned how to identify
places to serve and be helpful to others. I think it can be demonstrated easier
if I offer help to them throughout the day and give them the lesson at home,
not just abroad.
19. Will you help me? – If a child can see the joys of when help if given to others, they would quickly see that there isn't anything wrong in receiving help either. Most children are so independent and wanting to do things themselves, but often times, it takes a little help from more experienced people to learn how to do it right. I love when my 5 year old is learning something new and it doesn't come as easy for him as it does for his older siblings because he is quick to ask, “Will you help me?” There are times that we don't help him, because it will enable disobedience or laziness but that is only when we know the skill has already been learned and it was required of him to do, but we never let him down in his learning.
20. I appreciate you! – Saying thank you is easy to implement, but going a little further to let someone know that ‘I appreciate you', leaves such a lasting impression on that person that it can literally change a life. Every person in our life should hear these words from us from time to time and why we appreciate them. Why not start with your children and train them in how to let others know how they appreciate them. You may be one of the first to be rewarded with such high esteem.
