I used to judge them too, thinking oh , they weren't raised i a christian home or if they were, well they did something wrong! You have control to a certian extent, you do the best you can, when they are teens they touch choices to make and don't always choose the right ones. Here's a good phrase:<br />You just do the best you can~Prudencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022571627691517049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-53184695948345449222011-02-26T09:50:43.999-05:002011-02-26T09:50:43.999-05:00Before becoming a mommy, I was a high school Engli...Before becoming a mommy, I was a high school English teacher in my previous life. In one of my classes, I remember a lesson on praise for your students that I think applies to any relationship. The concept was that too many time we offer praise that is not specific..."Great job! Good work! Way to go!, etc" The lesson said this type of praise had little meaning and was empty, while praise that noted a specific incident was powerful: Thank you for cleaning up that puzzle when I didn't even ask you, too. That makes Mommy very happy. Of course, for my students the words would have been different, but the concept the same. And this type of specific praise can help us reward improvement, excellence, and consistency, while avoiding praise for things that should be done anyway. So while I expect Ryder at 3 to clean up his puzzle when I tell him to, (doing what I said should be done anyway, and I will simply thank him for minding Mommy), actual praise is given for going beyond and picking up the puzzle without me having to ask him. However, a year ago, I might have given praise just for getting all the pieces picked up while I helped. There are sadly few things that I remember from school....like anything else, you learn more from the job than from the school, but I really thought that the lesson on praise was valuable and helpful to anyone dealing with kids (or adults, for that matter!) And...your sticker charts are way cute, and such a good reminder to us as parents to say the praise and not just think it, and to discuss actions that lead to consequences instead of just giving the consequences.
