‘Speak Nicely’ T-Shirts Spread the Message of Goodwill
March 16, 2009 · Print This Article
Our words have such a big impact on how we see the world and how we interact with each other. This is a key to treating the environment well also, and it’s an important message to impress upon children as eary as possible so they grow up to respect other people, themselves and the world at large.
We’ve all seen those rather disturbing kids’ message t-shirts and clothing emblazoned with rather, um, inappropriate words and phrases. It seems like they’re everywhere, and who wants their 8-year-old daughter running around with shorts that say ‘Juicy’ on the rear end? Not to mention all those onesies
A company called ‘Speak Nicely’, founded by the mother of four young children, seeks to remind us all of the power of our words and provide items for children and adults with uplifting messages. ‘Speak Nicely’ items are printed with sayings like ‘Honor People’, ‘Say Nice Things’ and ‘I Am the Future’.
Founder Audrey Weitz told MomTalk,
“In my own search for children’s clothes, I am amazed by how our culture invites us to use our children to inappropriately promote companies, or worse spread messages that can be hurtful to others. I developed this line to help build up our children. We need to give them the opportunity to use words to make their own little worlds, as well as a grander one, a more beautiful and peaceful place to live.”
