Page 213 - Don't, Shouldn't, Impossible, Won't, Never Haves, all words so often heard by children and used by parents and adults. Yes in times of danger such words are needed, but do we use them too often without thinking! None of us want our children to get hurt, but sometimes you learn by experience. So we should listen, and then make our own judgement, but children cannot always make that, so need guidance. If we explain the consequences instead of just stating the negative. If we listen and then act, Anything can happen, even the seemingly impossible, or at least part of it! In life we all have to make our own mistakes, and hopefully learn from them. But guidance is always welcome. I know I have made mistakes by not listening, and probably will continue to do so! And hope not to use these negative words too often.
