To use tabs, please use full web version. I believe the goal of parenting is to give my children the skills to become self-sufficient physically, socially, and spiritually. As I try a new technique I ask myself, is this teaching my child how to make good choices? Is she learning to ask God what the correct choice is? My goal is that my girls will be able to fully function as God's servants and become strong leaders for positive change.

Communicating
I have been focusing on better communication in my marriage, but I think this might work with everyone. 1. Stick to the topic. Don't argue about 10 things at once. Focus on 1 thing. 2. Be clear and specific about needs and wants. 3. Express how I feel. When I put an emotion with my request it has more impact. 4. Explain why I do things the way I do them. Usually I'm afraid that if I tell others why I do something I will be judged. That probably came from my upbringing. Often when I explain why, I get a suggestion that actually works!
