I build my kids up as often as possible, but there is one word I really believe makes them puff their chests with pride and that word is “Wow.” Wow is something my mom started and when she would rave about my homework, a basketball game or even a cleaned room, I felt so good about myself. I want my kids to know I appreciate their efforts and that I think they’re amazing, so I make sure and “wow” it up around here just like my mom did when I was growing up.
