📖 The words we choose to describe someone’s abilities can lift them up… or unintentionally hold them back 💛
That’s why at Care2Communicate, we practise strength-focused storytelling, using language that celebrates what a person can do, rather than highlighting what they can’t.
Instead of saying:
🚫 “He can’t say his /r/ sound.”
Try:
💡 “He’s working hard on his /r/ sound and can say it clearly in short words now!”
Instead of:
🚫 “She doesn’t talk much.”
Try:
💡 “She’s starting to use more words to share what she wants and needs.”
Language is powerful, and when we use it to highlight progress, strengths, and potential, we’re not just telling a story… we’re helping to write a brighter one ❤️
