7 Secrets for Avoiding Anger Outbursts!

Hello Christian Friend,

Words can fuel anger, but words can also change feelings and create calmness.  In Proverbs, the Bible says, “gentle words turn away anger, while harsh words stir up strife.” 

Anger is “poisonous” for our mental, emotional, and relational well-being. Anger creates unhealthy chemicals and is also linked to heart disease. For every minute a person is angry, they lose 60 seconds of happiness. 

Shown below is a link to 7 Secrets For Avoiding Anger Outbursts.  In this video you will learn the first emotions of anger as well as the 7 Secrets For Avoiding Anger Outbursts. After watching this video, you can, and you will have the strategies to never have anger outbursts again. Please share this link with family, friends, church members, etc.

HOW TO DEVELOP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE!!!

HOW TO DEVELOP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE!!!

With all the negative news including the pandemic, it is extremely important to develop a positive attitude each day!  One simple, effective way is to have a daily goal to overcome negative thoughts.  Starting today, do the following: 

1.  Begin each day by saying out loud: “This is the day that God has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!”  Psalm 118:24

2.  When you arise start every day with prayer – say the Lord’s Prayer out loud along with other prayers or at a minimum say “thought” prayers. 

3.  Say out loud: “Today with God’s help, I can and I will, I can and I will, I can and I will.” 

4.  “Love your neighbor as yourself” by saying something encouraging to everyone you speak with, email, or text.

5.  Say out loud or even write down in a journal three things you are grateful for. 

Unhealthy thoughts are the result of bad habits.  Implement these five ideas and be amazed at your positive attitude!

 God’s blessings on your life and relationships!

12 GREAT HOMEWORK GUIDELINES!!!

Homework is a reality in a child’s life and should be viewed as an additional learning opportunity by both parents and child.  A productive, fulfilling academic year can be achieved through 12 Great Homework Guidelines. 

Guidelines will enhance the growth and development of a child’s study habits.  At home, reinforce a learning attitude through when, where, and how to study guidelines.  12 Great Homework Guidelines can also assist a parent without nagging or constantly reminding a child about homework responsibility.

This is taken from Chapter 6 of Simple Habits for Effective Parenting:  Specific Skills and Tools That Achieve Extraordinary Results in Raising a Child.  This comprehensive guidebook is the only resource that covers all seven key areas of parenting for leading a child to be motivated and responsible as well as a confident student this 2021-22 school year.

FUNDAMENTALS ARE THE PARENTING FOUNDATION!

Parenting fundamentals are the cornerstone of your child’s life building as you seek to lead and guide your child.  Understanding the importance of the four “Rs” will help you establish a strong Parenting Foundation.  Like four legs of a table all four “Rs” – Relationship, Routines, Responsibilities, and Rules - must be stable and solid.  Acceptance, Affection, Attention, and Appreciation are fundamentals connected to the first “R” – Relationship and provide powerful ways to love and encourage your child as well.
