How to Create a Positive Inner Voice in Children

When you speak to your children, what do they hear? Is it a tone of love or one of stress and frustration? The way we speak to our children impacts the inner voice that we are instilling in them. Our children learn from us how to handle the world, and how to react in a difficult situation.

In this video I talk about becoming aware of the inner voice we are instilling in our kids and how I am working to improve that with my own children. This video also addresses how to recognize the mirrors that reflect our personality, so that we can become the best version of ourselves. In the video you will begin to learn about the choices and power we all have to help create a positive inner voice in our children.

Thank you for watching, friends!

Your insight is incredibly valuable.

Do you have any tips or advice on how to act out of love in difficult situations? Is there anything that helps keep you from talking in a negative tone to the people you love most when you are having a stressful day? Will you help me spread awareness of the impact we have as parents to nurture our children’s inner voice?

I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

With love & gratitude,

great video and great topic!! I think for me when I am stressed I need to take a minute and realize how i come across before I speak so it doesn't come off in a negative tone. I yell at the dog all.the.time! She is very frustrating at times and i find myself yelling at her in front of Mikayla and i need to stop doing that! I don't want her first words to be ..."NO SADIE" hahha

I need to do the same thing "take a minute and realize how i come across before I speak". I am hoping I can get to a point where I just do that. It can be really hard! This parenting thing is tough :)

thanks for pointing out the impact that parents and we ourselves have on our inner voice Wendy. The way parents talk to you can have an incredible impact on how you talk to yourself. And when you're raised in homes where parents are negative or condescending, your self-talk tends to reflect that. I think realizing that we have a choice and consciously making that choice all the time is key to positive self talk.

Thank you, Vishnu! It is so challenging, but really important so I'm trying hard to work on it.

Thank you, Kelly! I love doing the videos because it is really nice to be able to speak the messages I want to share instead of writing them. I really appreciate you sharing it on FB :) That means a lot to me!
