A person, like most any object, escalates in value because you make it so!
Think what a difference you could make in a child who will likely grow to become the sort of person he perceives he is in your eyes.
In every likelihood if you think very little about his abilities and capabilities, the child will eventually suffer lack in those very same areas you've transmitted and hammered home!
You'll have inadvertently planted seeds of doubt and fear in his young and impressionable mind and this belief will probably accompany and dictate to him for the rest of his life unless given the chance to unlearn and rehabilitate.
If on the other hand you plant seeds of accomplishment and affirmation in his young mind, imagine how far this would take him when he nurtures and grows with such positive energy and influence in his life.
Never underestimate your impact in a child's life however little you understand it!

Never underestimate your impact in a child's life however little you understand it!
His formative years rely primarily on watching, hearing, observing and emulating you. And when you're least aware of it, he's capturing and absorbing every unuttered word that is being released from your gesture, body language and facial expression; every disapproving retort, sarcastic remark, judgemental cruel comment and impatient grunt tearing him apart and robbing him of his self confidence.
And these will be replayed in his mind over and over and over and over again, painting a bleak and hopeless picture of his future.
How sad to subject a child to such deprivation of not only your affection, adoration, appreciation and approval but to bombard and kill his spirit at such a young tender age.
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever."
