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!

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.

MEALTIMES MAKE A MARVELOUS DIFFERENCE FOR A CHILD!!!

The most underrated and least talked about parenting essential is family mealtimes at the table. In my opinion, parent-child mealtimes together are probably one of the most significant influential parenting habits because eating together makes a tremendous impact on a child in so many ways.  Please realize mealtimes are for enjoyment, modeling manners, at times lovingly encouraging eating etiquette, and not continually correcting your child.

When a child is struggling behaviorally or academically, I have found most of the time meals are not eaten together as a family. I hear reports that each family member eats nearly every meal in a different part of the house--bedroom, living room in front of the television, the basement, BUT not together.

When family members start eating together and applying the following 10 goals, I have amazingly witnessed positive family life improvement as well as a child’s behavior becoming more responsible.

This is an excerpt from Chapter 2 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 and guiding a child to be a responsible, motivated, and confident individual.

GODLY CHARACTER AND GOOD CHOICES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR EVERY CHILD!!!

A healthy parent-child relationship is built through nurture, laughter, memories, respect, and when necessary, corrective discipline.  Through a strong relationship, an effective parent communicates through words and actions a deep desire for child to develop positive qualities and Godly character to help a child make wise choices throughout their entire life. 

An excellent goal for every parent is to daily praise either a positive attribute within a child or a specific action a child did that was meaningful.  Always use the words, “I appreciate . . .”  Praise creates positive energy within a child!
