Identity is everything! This is doubly true for children #shorts

Identity is everything. Like James Clear says in his book ‘Atomic Habits’ “Your Identity can hold you back… or build you up” This is doubly true for children. If your child uses a lot of these types of phrases when they’re talking to themselves, it can be extremely damaging to their self-identity. Here are some phrases you can teach your child to say to themselves instead: I’m so stupid ➡️ I need some extra help with this task I’m awful at math ➡️ I’m a good reader I am scared of everything ➡️ I’m brave when it counts I’m not coordinated ➡️ I am someone who likes new things I’m not a good artist like you ➡️ I’m a strong performer on-stage To learn more about these ideas with examples and advice on what to say, read my book "How to Talk to Kids About Anything!" 📕
