NAEYC published an article written by Deb Jones in Teaching Young Children all about the impact of using positive words with children in the early learning environment.
Why Words Matter

As Fred Rogers said, “The greatest thing we can do is let people know that they are loved and capable of loving.” This article offers activities and techniques centered on using positive words to make your classroom an encouraging place where children, families, and teachers feel the love.” The article includes ideas to use with children, with families, and with other teachers and staff. AND ideas to use with yourself. Check out the full article here.
