Harsh words aren’t always discipline.
Criticism isn’t always correction.
Silence isn’t always strength.
Sometimes, it’s harm.

Children are born with pure hearts, open minds, and an unshakable trust in us.
The words we speak to them become the voice they’ll hear in their own head — long after childhood.
Be careful what you plant there.

Correct with kindness.
Lead with patience.
Discipline without humiliation.
And always speak to them in the way you hope they’ll speak to themselves someday.

The world will test them — don’t let home be the place that breaks them.
