The thing is, kids generally don't set out to be "not-careful".
Chances are, when they're climbing a tree, or setting off on their bike, kids will be aiming for 'careful' in preference to pain, plaster or worse.

When we repeatedly say to our little ones, "Be careful", we think we're saying, "Stay safe, I love you".

But to our kids, (who we're likely distracting from their attempts at carefulness with our repeated "Be carefuls"), they may just hear, "There's a good chance you'll fail. You haven't got this."
And messages like these carry their own risk.

Be careful with your "Be carefuls" ❤

Here is another sample from the book, Alfie Gibson and Teaspoon:

“Sometimes I worry I’m not perfect enough. Not like the dogs on the cavoodle fan page that my human stares at often,” lamented Gibson.
You are good enough thought Alfie.
“I have crooked teeth and smelly gums,” Teaspoon said sadly.
“You too are good enough. What is perfection anyway?” asked Alfie.
Gibson enthusiastically knew the answer to this question, “Boiled chicken?!”
Teaspoon agreed, “Aah yes, boiled chicken.”
“Perfection is an illusion. There is no such thing. To be a canine is to be imperfect. I feel sad about the professional dog shows that only set us mere canines up for feeling as if we have failed. What else do you worry about?”

“I worry I won’t be fed; I’ll be hungry and cold; I might be forgotten about …. Honestly the list is endless. I worry my legs will be too stiff to get up the stairs. What if the humans no longer care for me tomorrow?” anxiously stated Teaspoon.
“There are many, many what ifs. Most will not happen. Let’s look at what Is. What is happening now? Right now, you are fed, warm and safe,” comforted Alfie.
Teaspoon felt better. “My worries have faded for now. “
“Be present in the now, accept your imperfections. We are all crossbreeds after all,” noted Alfie.
