2 GREAT MARRIAGE QUESTIONS!!!

By asking 2 terrific questions twice a year, every spouse can grow personally while enhancing their marital relationship.

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. 

This past July I joined Jim Daly, President, and John Fuller, VP, for an interview on a national broadcast of Focus on the Family to discuss Effective Parenting.  This interview may be watched on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMU7pE_MagI Please also share this Focus on the Family interview with family and friends.

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!

TO IMPROVE RELATIONSHIPS: MAKE REQUESTS, DO NOT JUST COMPLAIN!

To improve your relationships, ask for verbal or behavior changes.  Complaining and criticizing do not make a positive difference in any relationship.  Instead, make a request in the form of a question with “Will you please . . .”  followed by a solution. 

Complaining and criticizing are easy but it takes courage to ask for what is wanted or expected in order to create a solid connection.  Always take action with requests because that is seeking solutions for a stronger bond.  Make “Will you please . . .” a regular part of your relationship vocabulary.
