Cheers you should know

Many, many years ago, I read an article on encouraging your children and the power of positive words. At the end of the article was a list of cheers that could be said to your children to encourage them and build them up. I cut the cheers out and backed them with construction paper and taped them to the side of the refrigerator. I remember some days with all the activity and business of life, it was easy to forget to cheerleader. Having the list on the refrigerator was a visual reminder to cheer on! Even today, with three grown boys, it is a good thing to be their cheerleader and to speak positive words. Below is the list of the cheers. Maybe you would like to put these on your refrigerator as a reminder to use your words in a positive way. So how 'bout it..........can I hear a CHEER? :)
