You have said at least three of these this week
- 01"You're the best!"
- 02"Don't cry, it's not a big deal."
- 03"You just have to try harder."
Every one of them is well meant. Every one of them lands differently than you think.

This is not a list of things you did wrong. It is twelve gaps between what a sentence means and what a child takes from it, with the exact replacement for each one.
