Using optimistic language in the classroom can change the way children learn and respect themselves and the others:
- While delivering lecture in class many of us are unaware that we are addressing the minds and hearts with the powerful tool of communication and hence are not very mindful of the choice of words.
- Teachers have the opportunity to reframe students’ pessimistic statements into more optimistic ones.
- The kind of language that the students use also can reflect the thoughts that they have about themselves.
