I feel like one of the biggest stress factors as a parent is communication with your child! When they are little, they don’t speak. As they grow, they learn to speak, which can be frustrating for both parties! It literally is like speaking two different languages.
As they learn and grow, it is so easy to throw our hands in the air in defeat, in anger, in disappointment, even in tears! It is moments like these, we should sit back for a minute, assess the situation and say something encouraging to the little humans we made.
Thanks to friends and family, I have compiled a list of great things to say to your little one if you are running out of ideas and feel the need for fresh, new things to inspire your kiddo!
