Don’t we all loved to be encouraged? Then why do we forget so many times to encourage our little ones instead of getting on to them and telling them what they do wrong? Lift your children or a child you know up with these encouraging words.

Hi! I hope you are having a good day. Thinking about you and praying for your sweet family…and just like children, Moms need encouragement, too. Thank you for helping me and encuraging me. Your family and friends are blessed!

Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes it’s so easy to forget that kiddos need encouragement more than discipline. I needed this today.
Michelle Richards says
Thanks so much for this reminder! I need to print that list and put it on my fridge. It’s so easy to be negative rather than positive, but you’re so right that they need encouragement more so. And, the good part is, once you get into a habit of encouraging – it’s easier to do!
Lindsey says
The theme of my day seems to be that it’s way easier for us to be negative than positive.
Up until about today I always thought that humans are negative by nature, but someone pointed out to me that I’m wrong – that kids aren’t negative.
Thanks for reminding me not to teach them to be.
