They constantly hear negatives throughout their day and recognizing... then 'reinforcing the positives' makes for a happier household.</p><p>One example that I practice with my family to help "reinforce the positive" is to have a dedicated "Accomplishment Wall". It is right in our living room that directly faces our Dining Room (which is convenient for a conversation starter at dinner). This wall is covered with the WHOLE family's accomplishments! Including report cards, drawings, awards, medals, notes from teachers (email's from boss), etc.</p><p>Every year, before school starts we (usually my daughter and I as my son doesn't really care much for arts and crafts) create a poster board that has a theme that we want to focus on for the year. The first year was "I can do it" the next was "Never Say Never".</p><p>It wont be in Atlanta Homes magazine, but hopefully, it will be imprinted on their hearts and minds and eventually recycle the idea into their future, with their kids.</p>KaseyFri, 24 Oct 2008 12:33:05 -0000http://dewde.com/?p=242#comment-3693621<p>that was so kyoot. yes, i said "kyoot", not "cute".
