However, as parents, we all know how easy it is to slip into using negative and angry words to deal with our frustrations and feelings of helplessness when taking care of our children, especially ones that need more patience, more care and more compassion. Incorporating positive words regularly and using clear and direct language without the sarcasm or hurt is key to maintaining calmness and respect in those.
