Words create reality
A small change in wording – a big change in the child’s response
Instead of formulations that provoke resistance (“Why did you forget again?”, “If you don’t do it – you will be punished”), we will prefer language that invites cooperation:
“How can you remember differently next time?”
“I see that it’s difficult for you now, let’s think together how we can help.”
When we speak to the child as an equal, we reinforce a sense of value, responsibility, and security.
Language creates reality – and the child responds accordingly.
