“Don’t forget the powerful tool of your imagination as a parent. Rather than focusing upon your child’s negative qualities or annoying behavior, try picturing how you would like him or her to behave.” –Mimi Doe

“Pay attention to the pictures and descriptions you weave about your child. Could these limiting thoughts and words be holding him or her back? If you say “Maggie’s not a very hard worker” enough times, it might become truth.” –Mimi Doe

“Help your kids take responsibility for their lives. Have you ever been around someone who always makes excuses: ‘The teacher was no good,’ ‘It wasn’t fair because I was last in line’?” –Mimi Doe

“Every statement you make about yourself becomes the truth in some way. Be mindful of your words such as, “I’m a loser.” It does nothing for you but bring down your energy. “I am constantly improving and growing” is a better expression.” –Mimi Doe
