The language we use as parents plays a critical role in shaping a child’s mindset, self-belief, and relationship with challenge. 

Every time we speak to our kids, we’re either setting them up to grow or teaching them to avoid challenge. It’s not about being perfect parents. It’s about becoming more aware. 

From “you’re so smart” to “you tried your best,” we unpack the unintended messages hiding in everyday praise. Whether your kids are little or already grown, the words you choose today could shape their self-belief for years to come.

In this episode you’ll learn: 

🔨 Language shapes a child’s mindset more than most parents consciously realise. 
🔨 Praising effort builds resilience; praising talent can unintentionally limit confidence. 
🔨 Children interpret tone and repetition, not just the words being spoken. 
🔨 Avoid labels that suggest fixed ability; highlight perseverance and strategic thinking instead. 
🔨 Encouragement should focus on progress, not just outcomes or personality traits. 
🔨 Small shifts in language can lead to lifelong changes in self-belief.
