Parents Dish: Phrases We Have To Say Over and Over
Parenting is one of those gigs that by doing it day after day can begin to feel just like that — doing the exact same thing over and over again. Kids love routine and everything moves much easier when things are routine.
That is all fine and dandy until it’s the things we have to say to our children — over and over again becomes routine. Kids love to press buttons and push boundaries I swear my kids are off in their own worlds half the day and not at listening to what’s going on in my world.
One phrase I find myself saying over and over again is “you don’t need to yell. I am right beside you!“. My kids have yet to master the idea of the inside voice… I say this at least 3 times a day. It is always comforting to know that I am not the only parent who has to say the same things over and over again for my kids!
