It really emphasizes how important it is to choose what we say to ourselves and to other people wisely.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137685337661792439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52437131873684486.post-72543851825082637422014-03-28T08:30:15.955-04:002014-03-28T08:30:15.955-04:00A psychologist friend of mine (child psychologist)...A psychologist friend of mine (child psychologist) pointed this out to me a few years back and now you remind me / reinforce the lesson to me. He pointed out the same thing; that when you try to correct a child's behavior, you have to make sure not to say it in the negative because the bad behavior will stick (e.g. Don't slam the door).

"Stop" tends to make me linger more on what I am doing wrong than actually changing it. Words can be very powerful, even in the most subtle ways.
