Thank you this insightful article. Language, as you beautifully describe, is both the architect and nurturer of a child’s emotional and cognitive growth. Each word, whether affirming or critical, becomes a thread in their identity, shaping their inner voice and resilience. It’s remarkable how these everyday interactions influence not just a child’s emotions and behavior, but their entire perception of themselves and the world around them.
From an Islamic perspective, your reflections align deeply with the Quran’s emphasis on the power of words. The parable in Surah Ibrahim likens good words to a "good tree" with firm roots and fruitful branches, symbolizing their lasting impact. Parenting, as you suggest, is more than guidance - it’s a responsibility to use words intentionally, nurturing emotional security and lifelong resilience. Your article serves as a powerful reminder that the words we choose today have the potential to shape not only behavior but the essence of who a child becomes.
Rightly Put! Being Intentional with kids is very important. as everything they learn is from their surroundings!
JazakAllah!
