Posted by Al. Weaver on Monday Nov 17, 2008 Under Parenting Tips

Our everyday language is not English anymore; it is a heterogeneous mixture of archaisms, shortened words or even slang. Repetitive words heard a hundred times per day, phrases that became meaningless because said as a brain impulse.
As soon as your child articulates his first word, as a parent, you feel like a new era has just begun and you are at the top of the world, one more time. Now you know that your kid is in a position to understand words and better, repeat them so you have to be extra careful of what you say. Don’t you agree?

Furthermore, authority does not go without protection: to show authority to a child, is also to show him that we are capable of protecting him, and that he can grow up with confidence.
