A phrase that kids often hear from their parents is: \\u201cWords Are Powerful!\\u201d\\xa0 Usually when this is said it is when your kiddo has stepped over the line and used language in a hurtful or otherwise negative way. \\xa0 In our house, we also constantly discourage negative phrases like \\u201cI can\\u2019t do that\\u201d or \\u201cThat\\u2019s impossible.\\u201d\\xa0 \\xa0 Recently, we had the opportunity to test the power of the spoken word on a grueling hike in Mammoth.\\xa0 Truth be told - we didn\'t\\u2019 see many kids on this trail - certainly not Sophia\\u2019s age.\\xa0 So when Eva and especially Sophia started to complain and whine when we still had a few miles left on our journey, Olga sprung into action and shared how we can shift the energy in our family just by uttering some simple phrases.\\xa0 Needless to say, this tactic worked and we not only made it back to the car but had so much fun on that last leg of our hike. \\xa0 Eva shares the story in this episode -- which we think your kids will love because it shows the power of words in the positive sense.\\xa0 And if you are a family that loves the outdoors, we think you will find Olga\\u2019s strategy very helpful the next time your kiddos get tired and start to complain.\\xa0 Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/211\\xa0
