Produktbeschreibung

"If words shape the world, then Words Like Honey is the blueprint for building something beautiful."--Ginny Yurich, CEO and founder of 1000 Hours Outside "This book is a hopeful waymaker for parents who long to break generational patterns, delight in their children, and nurture a kind and compassionate home."--Ainsley Arment, author of The Call of the Wild + Free *** Our words have an impact on our children, yet how often do we slow down long enough to really think about what that impact might be? Many common phrases we utter as parents have a negative effect on our kids, unintentionally causing anxiety, stress, self-consciousness, or depression. Some of them even become a barrier to our children's faith and their trust in Christ. In Words Like Honey, speaker, writer, and mother of nine Amy Hughes explores specific words and phrases we commonly use when talking to our kids and considers the negative impact they may have. Things like - "Hurry up" - "Calm down" - "Don't be sad" - "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" - "You don't have enough faith" - and more She offers alternative words and phrases, giving us the practical help we need to choose better language in the moment that will build up our children's confidence, nourish their faith, and solidify their sense of worth.
