This Reader's Digest article gives you seven things to say, and seven things not to say, to children. Since kids think differently, they hear things differently than adults. Sometimes they misinterpret what we say, and miss the entire message. This article is a quick read and very informative. Some things were for younger kids, and some for older, but everyone who deals with kids should take a quick look.
