AlysonPurposeStatement

I am writing a letter to my mother about how she talks to the kids in my family, the things she says, etc. My audience is my mother, people who may one day become parents, people who are parents, and children who have the same issue I do with my mother. The purpose is to inform people of what may or may not be the best thing to say to a child. I want people to realize that I am not trying to criticize parenting styles, but giving a child's perspective. I want people to see that words can affect someone more than they think words can, especially coming from a parent. I hope that people understand where I'm coming from. I do not expect people to freak out about what I have to say. I expect some people to react angrily. They don't always like hearing that something they are doing can affect someone negatively.

MSH: Sounds great!
