Affirm Them Towards Growth

Sometimes as a mom I loose my focus. There are so many things to do, follow up on, take care of. Kids need help, especially little ones! In the day to day get it done though, I forget to plant seeds. I forget the fertilizer. I remember the pruning. I tell them no and tell them what not to do, but often forget to affirm what they are doing right, what they are good at. They need This! This will encourage them towards more of the same.
So, today I will stop and say well done. I will remind them of what they are so good and successful at. I will try to suggest they try again because I believe they can be successful.  I will build them up and not tear them down. I will let them know I see it. I see them and and my heart is glad!
Hebrews 10:24 encourages us to do the same, to build one another up. We are to encourage others to love and good works.
I encourage you to add this practice. Build them up. No one else will.
