“A SINGLE SPARK CAN SET A GREAT FOREST ON FIRE.” (JAMES 3:5)

Likewise, words have the power to build and destroy, to heal and hurt. But what impact can ill-considered words have on children’s lives?

The responsibility of raising someone with good values ​​is enormous, and parents play a fundamental role in the moral and social development of their children, even with the influence of the outside world. But the good formation of children’s character does not depend only on good intentions: often, without even realizing it, parents can act or speak in a way that hurts their children’s perception of the world and of themselves.

With this in mind, Elizabeth Pimentel defends the importance of self-awareness and being careful with words when raising our children. Based on her experiences as a mother and clinical psychologist, the author presents tools to strengthen the relationship between parents and children and demonstrates the fundamental role of the Word of God in raising children.
