I really like the way you’ve expressed this. I recently did a post about giving “meat” to your compliments, but I like your idea of “I noticed” alot! Thanks for this insight. I’ll give my readers a link to this post.

GREAT reminder. I LOVE Chick’s book, Parent Talk! I haven’t read it in a while and you’ve prompted me to pull it off the shelf again.

you are so right. I am ashamed of the way I hear some parents talking to their children.They really respond to our words so we should definitely choose our words carefully.

I used “I noticed…” several times this morning, after catching myself saying “good job” or “nice”. What I noticed about myself is this: When I used the quickie, good job, I wasn’t really paying attention to my daughter. When I used “I noticed” instead I needed to face her, really pay attention to what she was doing, and then really think about it. This tip caught a blindspot for me – thanks.
