Within our home, as family members and, especially, as parents, our words create an impact on our children and help to make them who they are and, ultimately, who they become as adults. These adults that we have affected with our words throughout their childhood go into the world and make impacts on it. Depending on how we, as parents, have impacted them with our words, they can make either a positive or a negative mark on society. They could become great and do wonderful, huge things or they could spiral down a self-destructive path that takes others with them and causes harm in numerous unknown ways. With the power of our words, just within our own homes, we can make the world a better place, or we can cause irreparable damage to our family and future society. These consequences, be it good or bad, are caused only by the spoken word and yet we use words in other forms.
Well written. And isn't it crazy that the use of words is sometimes one of the most overlooked things for the newer generations of young people? With the internet booming as it is and children being exposed to more at a younger age, the respect is gone... not for everyone of course. There are those who endure. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fine post, and for the image. Pictures do speak loudly.
ReplyDeleteYes they do....thanks to Mr. Burgos. I saw his blog and thought the pictures he added really gave it more visual appeal.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post! I always talk to my daughters Isabella and Sarai. Isabella just turned 3yrs and Sarai is eleven months. I have always think that the tone of voice that is use to correct our children can determine the quality of person they will become in the future.
