The Tone Of Your Voice Can Change The Impact And More...

The voice a parent uses to speak to a child decides how a child speaks to the parent. If your voice is condescending or harsh or sarcastic, it often causes the child to respond the same way. They of course will get in trouble for speaking that way, but you will get away with it because you are the parent.

Kids model our behavior! If your voice is respectful and loving, then they will start to express themselves in the say manner. Then it becomes clear that you expect your child to use the same tone when speaking to you. When you or a child uses harsh tones vs kind tones, one elicits different reactions.

It may be routeen and redundant to use simple terms like please and thank you but when you do, it becomes second nature to a child who hears these comforting and impactful messages.
