Words: Getting Help

As Marya said in our Personal Comments in this week's Module Morsel, we have been helping each other by noticing when we say something we need to rephrase. My husband and I have been doing it with the way we speak to our children, too. Just remember to only do it with a willing partner! I find not everyone appreciates those corrections...:-)

One of the biggest things I hear my kids say is "I can't". Sometimes they don't respond to my suggestions. I'm trying to help them find out what they really mean such as, I'm afraid to, or I don't really want to. I think the old saying is true: if you say you can't, then you can't, if you say you can, you can.
