WORDS YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY TO A CHILD... Written by E PLUS The Storyteller ✍️

 

“Why do they keep using these words on us?” Maxwell lamented as he and his sister coiled up in the corner of their room, feeling downcast.

“They don’t even care about our feelings,” Angela, Maxwell’s sister, added.

Words are seeds—good or bad.

So the question is: what kind of seeds are you planting, especially in the lives of your children or wards?

Let’s look at it this way: the daily nurturing of a seed goes a long way in determining the state of its growth—whether healthy or unhealthy. Every time you speak negative words to a child, you plant negativity in that child, and their entire state of mind is affected. Likewise, when you speak positive words to a child, it yields a positive impact and boosts confidence.

While it is true that moments of provocation may arise, it is equally important to process our thoughts before they become words. This requires intentionality.

All it takes is a decision and a step, and it gets better from there.

Now, let’s look at words that should never be used on a child:

You are useless.

You are good for nothing.

You are so dull.

See your mate—why can’t you be like them?

You are stupid.

You are a disgrace.

I regret the day I gave birth to you!

By the time I finish with you, you will regret the day you were born.

You can never amount to anything good.

You are very stupid.

These words carry deep negativity. They demoralise a child and plant seeds of hopelessness and worthlessness.

Rather than resorting to harmful words, be intentional about creating a healthy space—both mentally and physically—for your child.

Plant positive seeds that will impact generations to come.

Do not allow a moment of emotional outburst to shortchange the potential of a bright future. Every child can be positively inspired.

Be the change you want to see.

Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”

👉 CHOOSE LIFE 👍
