Make your compliments count
by Michael Grose
Ever notice how small hinges can swing really big doors? It's a reminder that it's the smallest things we do in our families that often have the biggest impact. One way you can maximise your impact on your family's wellbeing and your children's self-esteem is to make your compliments count.
Here's a story about how a few well-chosen words had a huge impact on a child, with an explanation of how you can do the same.
