There are many creative and kind ways to tell children, "Be quiet!", or "Think before you speak!" Thank you for encouraging us to communicate with dignity to our children; this is not often the case when it comes to adults telling children what they can and cannot do.

Always great reminders to show respect as we speak and listen. I have found that letting my children know their words are important to me helps them listen to my words. Proverbs 15:1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. These verses are ones that the we use on a regular basis.

I remember listening to Amanda Pride in the Parent Equipping class telling her children they need to respond quickly, quietly, and completely, which was awesome!! Not easy being a parent...thankfully we can help each other.

How do we use our words to benefit the listener? Depending on the situation, that can require some thought. And some prayer. Sometimes a lot of prayer. Thanks for this necessary reminder.
