Four Things You Should Never Say to Your Children

In this concluding episode of the Proverbs 31:2 series on The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes shifts focus from what to say to what NOT to say to your children. She shares four critical boundaries every parent needs to maintain: never bash their father in front of them (even in divorce), never speak negativity over them (including seemingly obvious statements like "you're so irresponsible"), never place emotional burdens on them they weren't meant to carry (like making your son your emotional support when your marriage struggles), and never compare them to siblings or use performance-based labels. Eileen vulnerably shares how she speaks healing over sickness instead of claiming illness, explaining her supernatural approach to staying healthy as a busy mom who can't afford to get sick. She addresses the dangerous mother-son bond that develops when women seek emotional connection from their sons instead of their husbands, using NFL examples of grown men who haven't properly left their mothers. Drawing from Life Skills International principles, Eileen explains how to find the positive trait in every seemingly negative characteristic your child displays, teaching parents to speak life by reframing "strong-willed" as "determined" and "annoying" as "detailed and organized."
