97 Positive Words for Your Children
Last Updated on September 13, 2024 by Joshua Isibor
If you think the words you use on your children don’t affect them, then you have to think twice. The use of positive words around your child cannot be overemphasized.
Costumes and crayons littered the yellow-painted room giving it a bewildered look. The kids were all stooped on their knees fascinated by the customized stars the school had bought for them awaiting their Christmas play. Sue continued to stare at the Holy Mary’s dress with uncertainty lingering in her heart. Would she be able to perform this play?
“Hey Sue, we’ve been talking about you. We think you’ll be great for the Holy Mary’s role”. Daniella her friend called out.
“You think so? ” Sue replied doubt filling her voice.
“Yes. We can be able to do anything we want, at least that’s what my parent say”. Daniella said with a shrug.
Sue was intrigued and wanted to hear more. “Your parents really said that?”
“Yes, they did. My mum told me I was amazing, and all I needed was a good dose of hard work and commitment”
Sue was astounded. Why haven’t her parents ever told her that?
Does this conversation by these nine-year-olds seem familiar? When a child is born, his mind is a clean slate, so crisp and blank. Whatever is written on it stays forever. This emphasizes the need for statements and words that will serve to build a child’s confidence. A child is naturally inquisitive throughout the early years of childhood and would believe whatever is said. For most children, childhood is a confusing stage of life, he may not be able to understand why he shouldn’t run around in the house, jump on his bed, or throw a ball at his siblings. Positive words serve to guide a child’s development mentally and emotionally, training him to believe in his own self.
One added advantage of using positive and inspiring words around your child is the effects never wear off. The child will grow up believing it as long as he lives. Many people became successful by holding to the words of their parents, one great example is Dr. Ben Carson. Traumatic words bear the same effects, as a result, you should refrain from using statements like this.
* “If only you knew maths like your brother…”
* “Why did you have to have such big eyes?”
* “Your sister plays the piano better than you, why don’t you just be like her?
* “Will you just get out of my room?”
You’ll agree with me that the statements above all have something in common; they belittle one’s effort and undermines the child’s ability. Hearing such toxic statements for years can be devastating and traumatic for a child in later years to come as a result, hindering the individual from performing to his full abilities.

There are no particular laid down rules in using positive words, therefore you can use them as much as you want and always around the child. Accompany it with a warm hug and smile and say it like you mean it. Another secret of using positive words is studying when to use them.
If your child is about to take a test or an exam, do not constantly berate him instead use words and sentences that will help him to focus on his abilities and deliver his best. Words and statements like
28. Don’t think too much, take it easy. Study hard and do your best. That is all that is needed.
29.I’ll still love you and be proud of you, no matter the outcome of your test.
30. Challenges only make you stronger.
31. You’re gifted, talented, and creative.
32. You’re a winner. Don’t quit.

36. Make an effort not an excuse
37. Your mistakes bring an opportunity for you to learn.
38. Not giving up is one of your best traits.
39. The view from the top is spectacular.
Sometimes your child can fall into a bout of depression or have anxiety attacks, and you may not know exactly what to do. Starting a conversation will be futile because the child is in no mood for communication. Instead, why don’t you use your words to get him (the child) to open?
40. Whatever is going on with you, I believe it’s just a phase. It will pass.
41. Life isn’t really fair all the time, but what matters is coming out stronger.
42. Don’t think too much.
43. Don’t be afraid, in time you’ll feel better.
44. I’m here for you if you need anything.
45. Everyone worries sometimes.
46. You are more than your emotions.
Using positive words helps children to develop healthy self-esteem and become more emotionally balanced as adults. Understanding a child’s abilities helps to ascertain what type of words to use, thereby helping you to make a positive impact as a parent. Paying exclusive attention to your child’s needs, conversation likes, and dislikes goes a long way and can make you use positive statements like this.
47. Your hands are really quick and good at catching, would you like to try out for the baseball team?
48. You always turn to the cooking channel, would you like to help me pick up the groceries next week? You’re really creative.
49. I love how you make your friends laugh. You’re my sunshine.
50. You love to speak in front of your mirror. You’re confident and bold.
So parents begin to use positive words around their children regardless of their age. Besides, if you don’t tell them how amazing they are. Who will?
