It is well recognized that parents play such an important role in the lives of their children and they do this through the way they communicate. Language serves as a medium of not only providing information but also affecting a child’s personality, beliefs, and how they interact with the world. Positive reinforcements are the fuel of confidence and the building block of resilience whereas negative feedback is the bedrock of insecurity and self-doubt.
Firstly, the early exposure to language shapes the way children communicate not only in the preschool period but also the rest of their lives. Parents should realize that the way they talk to their children can influence the kids’ self-esteem and their ability to build up relationships.
In addition, the language used by parents continues to affect children even in their adulthood life, consequently shaping career success, mental stability, and the approach to parenting. To be precise often, the behavioral patterns that are cultivated in young life are the reasons that some people communicate or are even self-deprecating.
Being aware that language is powerful, parents are advised to create an atmosphere of mutual and development-oriented communication. Parents develop their children by empowering their words that bring out childhood curiosity, empathy, and development that will boost their children’s positive development which will also lead to their future success.
