Words stick. When kids hear, “Your mom doesn’t love you,” or “Your dad walked away,” they don’t just shrug it off. Those words become scars that shape how they see themselves and what they believe about love.
Why it’s important:
Toxic words sink deep into a child’s identity. One safe parent modeling truth and love can protect them from carrying those wounds forever.
