Many times parents and teachers urge youngsters to “Use Your Words”. This song helps children to internalize cues to use their words to communicate feelings, needs and wants. The song also reminds us adults to model positive words for them.

Song Lyrics:

I use my words
Each day while I am playing
I use my words

I use my words
The ones I hear you saying
I use my words

Small words, big words
Helpful, hopeful, happy words
I use my words

I use my words
Please, show me how to choose them
I use my words

I use my words
Please, teach me how to use them
I use my words

Loving words, gentle words
Feeling, friendly, funny words

I use my words, I use my words
