Nobody sat us down and taught us to say these things. We heard them as children. They felt normal. So they became normal. And we brought them into our own homes without even realising. Here is the thing though. When a child hears these phrases enough times they don’t stop feeling. They just stop showing you. They learn to be okay on the outside even when they’re falling apart on the inside. And that habit doesn’t go away when they grow up. It just gets quieter. More hidden. Harder to undo. The child who learns to hide their feelings becomes the adult who doesn’t know how to ask for help. Who says I’m fine when they’re not. Who has never felt safe enough to fall apart in front of anyone. It starts here. In these small phrases. Said without thinking. You can’t change the past. But you can catch yourself in one moment today and try something different. That’s enough. That’s more than enough. Which phrase on this list did you grow up hearing? Let me know, I read every single comment. 👇 . . . . . #consciousparenting #gentleparenting #childdevelopment #emotionalintelligence #positiveparenting
