How's your primary relationship? I'm talking about your relationship with yourself! Do you ever say unkind words to yourself? Would you say those words to someone you love? Parents, when you are hard on yourself, there are ripple effects. You may think your kids aren't listening, but those are the only times they ARE listening! They absorb more than we think. Our kids are learning self acceptance (or self criticism) by how we treat ourselves. If you wouldn't say something to your beloved, try not to say it to yourself.
