Institute of Child Psychology on Instagram: "Before we speak to our children, please remember our words have power—to shape their sense of safety, worth, connection, how they see the world, and how they treat others. ✨ A simple pause can make all the difference. When we filter our words through these three gates, we communicate with intention—and our children feel the difference. #parenting #parents #parentingtips #childdevelopment #mentalhealth"
