“Honey, I lost my…..”
If your spouse reports to you the loss of a wallet, credit
card, or purse, what should be your first reaction?
Please don’t scold. Your
spouse feels bad enough already. Be
kind, thoughtful, and helpful. No one is
going to lose something valuable on purpose, so why should you make him or her
feel worse by your criticism?
This advice is important, I promise you. So, does this also ap Are you going to get irritated? Or are you
going to make your child feel that it is not a big deal and he or she simply
needs to clean up? And, please be kind
and help clean the mess.

Life is full of these little scenarios and depending on how
we react to them, we will deepen our relationship with someone else or distance
ourselves from that person. We have an
opportunity to initiate a trust relationship with a child and help this boy or
girl be proud and respectful of themselves.
If not, we risk making a child feel that they are worthless.
We may not always realize it but we do have the power.
