Pay attention to how often you use phrases like have to, should, and make me. Collectively, we call these terms “make me” language. When we use “make me” language, we cast ourselves as victims of the world around us, stripping ourselves of power.

Next time you catch yourself saying should, shift to could. When you hear yourself saying have to or make me, say I’m going to instead. For instance, instead of telling your children, “Don’t make me pull this car over!” say, “Fasten your seat belts, or I’m going to pull this car over so that everyone is safe.”

This simple shift in language empowers us, placing us in charge of our life choices. By changing the language you use, you also model personal responsibility rather than blaming for the children in your care.

Read that one more time. ❤️

As Meaghan Cox Gurdon says in her book, “listening to stories while looking at pictures stimulates children’s deep brain networks, fostering their optimal cognitive development. Further, the companionable experience of shared reading cultivates empathy, dramatically accelerates young children’s language acquisition, and vaults them ahead of their peers when they get to school. The rewards of early reading are astonishingly meaningful: toddlers who have lots of stories read to them turn into children who are more likely to enjoy strong relationships, sharper focus, and greater emotional resilience and self-mastery."
