All declarations
I M catching my children being good, not just catching them being wrong.
Wisdom
A child who only hears from you when he messes up learns that your attention is a punishment. Notice the quiet good, the kindness no one asked for, the effort that failed anyway. What you pay attention to is what grows.
Carry It
Catch a child doing one right thing today and name it, specifically, before you correct a single wrong one.
Ask Yourself
Does your child hear from you more when they are good, or only when they are bad?
I bring the words. You bring the voice.
