It's Sunday again! Funny how the weekend just sneaks up on us all like that! Today I would like to feature a piece from a blog on parenting. Marni Wells is the mother of 12 kids! Yes!! 12...and all single births too! She has a lot of great advise and I would like to post Positive Praise today because it is not just for kids, praise makes everyone feel good! Please visit Marni's website and enjoy! You can even sign up for her newsletter!
Thank you for reading my blog! You are all greatly appriciated!
It takes no energy. Costs no money. Takes little time. Requires no special tools.
It can cause increase in stature. It can bring renewal and a lighter step. It can ease stress. It can lift a heavy load. It affects every life at every age.
PRAISE
P power packed words of encouragement r right at any time of day or nite a always works i intuitively welcome s saying something that is positive and personal e everybody deserves some
Do you want to change things in your marriage, your work, your children, your school, committee meetings, church, relationships??? Try praise. "You will win more bees with honey" Now I am not suggesting that you make things up. That you slather compliments...brown nose....etc...
I AM SUGGESTING that you begin to practice praise. Start by making a decision to give 1 genuine praise per day per individual. This does not come natural in most cases. So you will need to be intentional to pull it off. You may meet some skepticism in the beginning but don't let it hinder you. Make it a practice.
Children will thrive with praise. You do not need to worry that they will become proud or spoiled...if the praise is genuine it will do it's job.
It can be delivered privately or in a group setting, in a note, letter, with a gift or alone.
Don't let anything stop you. Praise. Praise PRAISE!!
