Simple Summer Fun!

Try this!

Whenever you and your child are together with others, say something nice about your child. Here are some examples. The sky’s the limit!

• Adam always reminds me whenever I forget something.
• It was Kayla’s idea to take the umbrellas.
• Matt saved all the places for us.

When you tell your child something nice anytime, it has a positive effect. However, if you say it in the company of others, you multiply its effectiveness. Here’s why. Your words carry with them a lot of clout. Being the very person who holds your child to the highest standards, people respect what you say; and your child knows that too.

Watch others listen intently… and then be prepared to watch your child beam with pride.

Who is having more fun? You or your child?
