My 3 year old likes to tell me all the time that she is mad at me and I can admit that I sometimes tell her the same thing. Today she told me, "Mommy I'm not mad at you!". Then she asked me if I was mad at her. When I responded no, she said, "Mommy I wanna be happy, are you happy?". This question took me by surprise and I had to remember how the power of words can change everything. Especially for an impressionable toddler. Why don't we ever say "I'm happy at you?". Better yet, why can't we?

I try to always tell her how proud I am of her when she accomplishes something but the "I'm mad at you" phrase seems to stick with her. I don't want my daughter's impression of me to be unhappy or upset. But happy and loving and living a purposeful life.
Whether you believe or not in the power of the tongue or manifestation, words are simply more than words. I personally have spoken things into existence and I believe in the "put it in the universe" notion.

We as parents are the shapers of our children so shouldn't we mold them into positive, can do thinkers? I remember someone once said to me, "relationships are like math; you want relationships that add and multiply to your life and get rid of the ones that subtract or divide in your life". When I heard this, something instantly clicked in my mind and I made an effort to always surround myself with positive uplifting people and I purged some toxic relationships.

I want to teach my daughter this early on in life. Also, how to find joy in the little things! I don't want her to feel defined by labels, money, or status. In order for me to do this, I need to teach her the value of kindness, humbleness, and joy. There are so many other things I can do to emphasize it but one thing at a time. Really take some time to evaluate how you think your child sees you and if you are happy with the results. Think about how you unknowingly influence them in mood and actions. Try to find more positive affirmations to let your child know they are valued and important.

Even more of a challenge, what if we went through this whole cycle with ourselves? I plan on doing a post soon in regards to this. Stay tuned!
