Right words spoken are sweet to the ears and soften the heart.
Words are important to me and my son. Toda for saying this. Gov doesn't use right words to me or my son. My heart hurts. So does my sons. When I speak right words to my son I notice he softens. He said he came second last in a race. I replied, 'What is important is that you completed the race. You also have new friends that you are getting used to. And to me my son, you did well no matter where you came in the race.' Words to build up my son are my priority. Rabbi I feel very encouraged by your talk. It helps me parent my son the correct way. Shalom.
