When addressing our children, parents make certain communication errors that end up generating conflicts. This is how the psychologist Ana Roa explains it in her first book, Live life! (Ed. Passion for books) where she talks about the importance that our words have on them.
10 phrases that cannot be missing from your language
- "What can we do to make you feel better?" The importance of sincere expression of feelings accompanied by our consolation directs the child to abandon the upset. With this phrase we get the expression of emotion and the beginning of what can begin to improve to feel good.
- “I promise you that I will not let go of my hand” With this phrase we manage to convey to him that he will not feel abandoned, that we are always there to help him. Holding our son's hand gives him security and company.
- “I like it better if you do it that way, thank you” It is really important to positively verbalize those actions of our children that we like least. When the child receives positive feedback we avoid damaging his self-esteem and help change the action plan.
- “I am always here to help you, let me know if you need me” This phrase represents the importance of always being with our children, unconditional love, without reservations.
- “You know you can count on me” could be combined with the previous phrase. This expression symbolizes unconditional support and encourages parent-child communication.
- “We have a problem, but many solutions, let's analyze them” With this phrase we teach you the importance of conflict resolution as a whole, a problem and several alternatives. It is necessary that our children learn to analyze the pros and cons of each decision, thus we will promote their autonomy.
- “Now give me a hug, later we will continue talking” Knowing how to “contain” when emotion comes out intensely in children is one of our most complex functions as parents. We can hug each other and “let the storm pass” to talk later.
- “I am listening to you, I am interested in what you think and what you say” We are the most important interlocutors for our children, active listening is necessary in our role as parents because it implies active presence and will later lead to the desired assertiveness that we talk so much about.
- “Can you help me? Together, we will finish sooner.” This phrase positivizes the tasks that are most tedious, but that does not mean they are no longer necessary. Work together and together, clean up the toys or the table together when you are lazy...
- “You are my priority and I am not going to educate you 'on the fly'” We cannot educate our children by “putting out fires”, dedication and effort are important, they are our most important “company” if we have decided on the “job” of being mothers and fathers. We must transmit it to them and keep it in mind ourselves.
