There are many things we say during the day that are negative, that can be rephrased in a positive manner. It does take a little bit of thought, and at first you might reflect on something you said and think “I could have rephrased that to be positive”
Here are some examples:
Instead of: “you can’t play with your cars until you clean up your puzzle”, try saying. “After you clean up your puzzle, you can play with your cars”
Instead of: “you can’t have a cookie”, try saying “you can have a cookie after lunch”
Instead of firmly saying: “Clean up your toys!”, trying saying “time to clean up your toys please” with a neutral tone of voice.
