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,

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
