KIND SPOUSES SAY "I LOVE YOU" DAILY!!!

,

1 Corinthians 13:4 says, “LOVE is kind and thoughtful.” SPOUSES who are KIND and THOUGHTFUL when leaving the home say, “GOODBYE I LOVE YOU” and before going to sleep, “GOOD NIGHT, I LOVE YOU.” The other spouse responds, “I LOVE YOU.”

This GUARANTEES each spouse saying “I LOVE YOU” twice a day!!! Keep in mind, “I LOVE YOU” is MISSING in nearly every troubled marriage!

A more detailed explanation is given in the 2020 Three-Time National Award-Winning book, SIMPLE HABITS FOR MARITAL HAPPINESS.

DON’T ARGUE WITH A CHILD!

,

No parent in the history of the world has ever won an argument with a child (1 Corinthians 13:11). Rather than argue, it is healthy for a parent to simply say, “I AM SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY” or “I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH TO ARGUE WITH YOU.”

A parent-child relationship can be enhanced by AVOIDING ARGUMENTS!!! A more detailed explanation is given in the 2021 Two-Time National Award-Winning book, SIMPLE HABITS FOR EFFECTIVE PARENTING.

PARENTS PAUSE WITH A 3-PART ASSERTIVE RESPONSE!

, ,

PARENTS PAUSE WITH A 3-PART ASSERTIVE RESPONSE! A major goal for every parent is to PAUSE and NOT OVERREACT! The 3-PART ASSERTIVE RESPONSE achieves that goal!

When a child wants to ARGUE it is healthy for a parent to say, 1) “I HEARD YOU SAY(ECHO) . . .”; 2) “Say AND” Never BUT; then 3) RESPOND with WHAT IS HEALTHY or IN THE CHILD’S BEST INTEREST.

The 3-PART ASSERTIVE RESPONSE is a terrific parenting skill!

PARENTS NEVER SAY “PUNISHMENT” WITH CONSEQUENCES!

,

PARENTS NEVER SAY “PUNISHMENT” WITH CONSEQUENCES! A child is PUNISHED— that is NOT HELPFUL!!!— to inflict pain with the hope of improvement for better decisions. For example, I AM PUNISHING YOU with a timeout. NEVER say PUNISHED instead say, “YOU DECIDED” to go to TIMEOUT.

PARENTS NEVER SAY “I” WITH CONSEQUENCES!

,

PARENTS NEVER SAY “I” WITH CONSEQUENCES! When a parent says “I” that infers CONTROL and a PARENT WINS and the CHILD LOSES. For example, I AM SENDING YOU TO TIME-OUT. When giving a CONSEQUENCE a healthy comment to a child is, YOU DECIDED to go to timeout. YOU DECIDED is a vital parenting skill as well as helping a child understand responsibility.

TIME-OUT WITH AN APOLOGY AND OBEDIENCE STATEMENT!

,

Time-out is probably the most used parenting tool. Rather than use the minute-per-age rule, with a TIME-OUT I believe an APOLOGY and OBEDIENCE STATEMENT is ABSOLUTELY BEST! 1st, a child APOLOGIZES, “I am sorry I did not listen. WILL YOU PLEASE FORGIVE ME?” 2nd, “I am ready to obey and make a better decision.” Then, a child may leave time-out!

SARCASM IS DESTRUCTIVE FOR RELATIONSHIPS!

, ,

The Greek word for SARCASM means TEARING OF FLESH. 95% of sarcasm is HIDDEN ANGER and the goal is ATTACK, MAJOR PUTDOWN, a HARD EMOTIONAL SLAP, and the result is a DAMAGED RELATIONSHIP! AVOID ALL NEGATIVE SARCASM and watch your relationships become HEALTHIER and MORE SATISFYING!!!

WITH A CHILD, “YOU DECIDED” IS ESSENTIAL!!!

,

With a child, “YOU DECIDED” IS ESSENTIAL!!! One of the BIGGEST PARENTING MISTAKES is to use “I”— “I” am sending you to time-out rather than YOU DECIDED to go to time-out BECAUSE . . . “I” am taking your toy rather than YOU DECIDED to not have your toy BECAUSE . . . YOU DECIDED helps a Child Accept Responsibility for their DECISIONS and thus MAKE BETTER CHOICES in the future!!!
