Opportunity For Change posted by UNKNOWN Posted on Tue Apr 21, 2009 09:07:39 Even though things around us are difficult, let us use this as an opportunity for change. In the past when the economy was better kids went to so many different activities that it caused them some stress. Many parents are cutting back due to the recession and possibly being out of work. This can be a great time to slow down and cut back on the many different activities children do. They should pick one activity and the other days play outside, take a bike ride or just catch up on a good reading book. When people have some down time they tend to be more relaxed and happier. It might also contribute to more family time together. 0 comments--Add comment Mental Discipline Means success posted by UNKNOWN Posted on Tue Apr 21, 2009 08:53:55 These are difficult times with the recession and unemployment and stress in school. It is easy to feel depressed. Should we run to medicate ourselves or is there something else? There is and it is called mental discipline. We all need to weed our mental gardens of negative thoughts which make us unhappy and replace with positive thoughts. Negative thoughts such as anger, jealousy just bring about frustration and anger. We need to get up in the morning and recite our specific blessings we possess. Do this in the morning and at night. Stop comparing ourselves to what others have that we might not have but be thankful for what we do have. It takes time but it works! 0 comments--Add comment Who Is The Boss? posted by UNKNOWN Posted on Wed Feb 20, 2008 16:56:24 Who is the boss in your house , your children or are you the boss? I feel so much tension occurs because parents allow their children to assume the parent role because we want to be our children's "friend." We need to remember that we are the parent and must always be the parent in the relationship. We must show kindness but firmness. As parents, we need to set limits for our children and make sure they know the consequences for bad behavior. If we show our children that we are in charge and that we deserve respect everyone will be happier for it. Kids need us to be the parent. Friends they have in their life. Follow this and you will see a less stressed household. 0 comments--Add comment See More : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 >>	Programs * I Can Achieve Goals * I Can Be Grateful * I Can Be Happy * I Can Be Healthy Through Exercise * I Can Be Positive * I Can Feel Special * I Can Handle Difficult People * I Can Learn From My Mistakes * I Can Relax * I Can Understand My Feelings
