Meagan,

Non need to apologize! I agree, Bernadette catches the essence of our perspective on Encouragement. She also teaches parenting classes and I love her words too.

I posted another blog yesterday about homework…I found this encouragement perspective to be key in instilling responsibility for schoolwork as well. Luckily, you have a couple more years before you have to worry about that!

I hope you find many resources here, and will share them with your friends.

Best to you and your angels,
Deb

So simple yet completely overlooked in our society. Thank god for your attention and devotion to Positive Parenting. I am so grateful that my girlfriend mentioned this to me. For I have come to a stand still with my two girls mainly my eldest ( 2 1/2). I’m grateful for reading this before major habits set in.
It had me in tears, with these two lines. Which were, ” Children realize that it is their challenge to do things to make themselves happy. Adults who did not learn this lesson in childhood often disturb relationships later because they expect others to make them happy. ”
This hit home. So true for my history and yet I have not realized how to change that future for my children. Thank you so much! I look foward to studying more on your philosophy and application.
