The Power of Words is Immense! Changes in Children Brought About by Positivity
Two years ago, I used nothing but negative words every day.
Even in front of my child, I would say things like “I’m tired,” “I can’t do this anymore,” or “This is the worst.”
When my daughter started talking at age two, I was shocked to hear her say, “I’m tired” and “This is the worst.”
She was imitating my words exactly.
Hearing my daughter use negative words made me feel terrible.
I realized deeply that negative words make the atmosphere around you gloomy.
Furthermore, my husband also told me, “You should change the way you speak.”
I introduce that in this article as well.
This experience led me to decide to change my own words.
This time, I will talk about the changes that occurred in my daughter after I switched to positive words.
Changing Words and Putting it into Practice
Shocked, I began practicing changing my habitual phrases little by little.
I tried methods of rephrasing negative words into positive ones.
・“I can’t do this anymore” → “It will be fine if I do it little by little”
・“This is the worst” → “Let’s figure out what to do from here”
I made a conscious effort to say, “How lucky,” whenever even the smallest good thing happened.
It didn’t go well at first, but as I continued, positive words naturally increased.
✅Consciously changed the words I use to positive ones
Changes in My Child
Once I started using positive words, there were changes in my daughter as well.
One day, she happily said, “What a beautiful view, how lucky.” Also, she started reporting,
“I found a ladybug. Today was a lucky day.”
Regarding arguments with friends, she also started talking positively, saying, “I wanted to get along” and “I have to apologize.”
Previously, she would say, “I can’t do it anymore” or “I can’t get along,” so I felt a major change.
Furthermore, her teacher told me, “It warmed my heart when your daughter said, ‘I saw a rainbow, how lucky.’”
When a friend got hurt, she apparently said kind words like, “It’s okay, I’m here for you.”
✅ My daughter also started using positive words and thinking positively
The effect that words have
Positive words spread happiness to yourself, your children, your family, and the people around you.
Since I started using positive words, the atmosphere in my family has become brighter.
Positive words nurture a child's self-esteem and convey warmth to those around them. I have realized that they have the power to create a chain reaction of happiness.
✅ Positive words have the effect of making not only yourself but also those around you happy
