Negative words/talking about self
Hi girls.
This is making me so sad and I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this or has any advice!
My little girl has just randomly started saying really negative things like:
I'm a liar
I'm selfish
I'm bossy
I'm a naughty girl
We absolutely do not use those kinds of words around her and we reassure her that she is not those things and is kind, and a good girl.
She goes to nursery but has never had this problem up until a week ago. But it's the only place I can think it would come from!
Do I ring the nursery, or my health visitor? I don't know what to do, it's just making me so sad hearing her say these things about herself! 😔😔😔

My friend had a similar issue with her little boy calling himself naughty, it could be coming from other children Definitely look into affirmations that you can say with her, there’s some really cute videos and songs that you could use and even get her to look in the mirror as she does it. I try to list off lots of positives about my girl when I’m getting her ready for bed on a night, it might not be an overnight thing but the best thing you can do is be aware and change her mindset while she’s still little xx
That makes me so sad to read ☹️ definitely talk to the staff at nursery. It's coming from them or another kid who's heard that. Definitely agree, lots of positive affirmations everyday!

I would have a chat with the nursery for sure. Also at home when your daughter is around/ able to see and hear you, look in the mirror and say nice things about yourself- I am strong, I am brave, I am happy, today is going to be a great day.. anything positive. That way you can kind of compete with the negative stuff your little one has heard somewhere
