When are you at your best?
After a good nights sleep? After
a delicious meal? After accomplishing an
important task on your “to do” list?
When someone compliments you on your hard work, effort, promptness or
reliability? After an evening with
friends filled with good conversation and laughter? Finishing a really good book? All of these things can make us feel
better. And when we feel better we do
better: we are happier, we are more fun
to be around, we get things done, we are more willing to work with and help
others, and it is the same for our children.
Make sure you are providing experiences that make your child feel good
about themselves. Positive thoughts and
experiences fuel better behavior. We know that when kids feel better they do
better. It makes perfect sense!
