So much of parenting seems to be about what we want our family to do, and we forget to appreciate what has been done or who they are. Was reminded of this last night with our 22 -year-old son who is still at home. He is setting goals to make a move and get on with his career, and I can’t help but keeping on him about it. I KNOW he is in need of encouragement, and I plan to buy some heart sticky notes to put one-a-day on his bedroom door for the month of February, to remind him, before he’s gone, of all the things I love and appreciate about him. It will be ‘money in his bank’.

My husband told me he appreciated something I did yesterday (after telling him he didn’t) and now our 3-year old is going around “appreciating” everything anyone does. It’s so cute! And yes, transformative 🙂

Sharla, this is so encouraging! Such a simple step to take towards intentionally creating an atmosphere of love in our homes. Changing our words can change our heart attitude which makes all the difference. Thanks so much for sharing at Make a difference Monday! Your link-up buddy.

I have used these words (I didn’t know they were the magic ones before reading this), and MAN it makes an amazing difference! I told my daughter how much I appreciate her hard work, especially after she decided, on her own, to clean, or help. That girl was BEAMING! I also have told my daughters what I appreciate them, that’s unique to them, their smile, their laugh, their hugs, etc, and they LOVE it. Makes me feel pretty great too that they hear these great things about themselves from me…. you know as opposed to the sometimes negative things I say all day long about picking up (that nagging you talked about!)
