TIP OF THE WEEK- By Lillian Reekie
TIP 17-
Don’t sweat the small stuff!
Sometimes we get caught up with the little things our children do (or don’t do) that sends our tolerance temperature gauge up high. Keeping in mind that we want to focus our communications with our children on the ‘positive’ things they do, does it really make sense to worry about all the small stuff. Continue to let your children know you love, tolerate and support them at all times and if ‘the small stuff’ is really annoying you discuss it with your child at a time when you are both calm. The discussion should be to gain cooperation and perhaps come to a compromise NOT for you to TELL them what YOU want.
