"You always do this!" — and your child already believes it?
"Always", "never", "every time" — it sounds like a fact. But one exception is enough to make the whole claim fall apart. Your child doesn't notice.
"You always" — that's not a description, it's pressure
"You're always late", "you always mess everything up", "it's always like this with you". At school, at home, among friends. The child knows this isn't always true — but starts to doubt and explain themselves instead of checking.
This isn't exaggerating or lying on purpose. Words like "always", "never", "everyone" sound like facts — and the brain takes them seriously. But a single exception is enough to make the claim fall apart. When a child lacks the skill to notice this, they accept the label and go on the defensive instead of thinking.
The result — they believe the exaggeration and build a false picture of themselves. "I always do this", "maybe that really is me" — and the label becomes part of how they see themselves.
