bosanchez - Choose Your Battles

 

There are two kinds of parents.

Parents who bless and parents who curse.

What kind of parent are you?

Face it, your kids will always make mistakes.

So here’s a million-dollar advice: Choose your battles.

Many parents simply have too many battles with their children: Unruly room.  Loud music.  Low grades.  Ugly penmanship.  The list is endless.

But if your child’s mistake is something that’s not morally evil, let it slide!

Instead, correct only when he cheats, or lies, or does something sinful.

But if your kid is just acting like a child—he’s restless, he’s importunate, he’s noisy, he’s clumsy, he’s disorganized— don’t get mad at him!

I repeat: Choose your battles well.  Because at the end of the day, you want to praise your children more than you correct them by a ratio of 4:1.  You need to praise your child at least four times more than you correct them.

Here’s the key.  Stop catching your kids doing “bad” stuff.  You only reinforce this behavior.  Instead, catch your kids doing good things—and praise them.  What gets attention gets repeated.  And as the good grows exponentially, it displaces the bad, spontaneously.

When you praise your children, you bless them.

 

May your dreams come true,

 

Bo Sanchez

I think you’ll agree with me when I say: We’ve all heard that SMART goals are important . But a lot of people are left with questions about them, for example: What exactly are they? How do we use them correctly? Are they really contributing to your success? Here’s the deal: When it comes to achieving success, one of the most important steps that you can take is setting good goals. It is also important to recognize, though, that not all goals are created equal. In this article, we’ll take a look at a special class of goals called SMART goals and how you can use them to heighten your chances of success. FREE SUCCESS TOOL: Brian Tracy’s 14-Step-Goal-Setting Guide What is a Goal? A goal can be any objective that you set for yourself and push yourself to achieve.

But here’s the kicker: While having goals of all kinds is almost

bosanchez - The Bias of Fathers

One day, I was at a Christmas party. And parents were forcing their small kids to sing, bribing them with lollipops to banana splits to doll houses to Boracay vacations. One father — a friend of mine whose name I won’t divulge as it would be hazardous to my health — brought his little five-year-old daughter to the front. Because he even had a Minus One prepared, we thought, “She must really be a good singer.” So everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the music started. Then the five-year-old began to sing. Or at least made some kind of sharp noise.  But she didn’t get one key right. The cute little girl was absolutely tone deaf. From beginning to end, she sounded so awful, the experience was similar to having an endoscopy without the anesthesia. But the father was right beside me, still taking photos, still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes glued to his little daughter. He looked at me and smiled, “She may not sound right, but can you see how lovely she sways her hips?” Th
