Power In Words

Do you believe there is power in the words you say? I want to see who believes there is and who believes there isn't. Take some time to think about it and give your answer in the comments...



I've given you guys some time to think about it and if you haven't answered yet, please do not continue reading on until you have commented...Now that everyone has commented I will begin this post.
I feel like many parents say things without considering how their children will feel because they don't realize the power their words have. When you say things without thinking about it or in the heat of anger that is when people get hurt, and most of the time it's your kids getting hurt. This of course does not mean that they are weak, but they do have feelings. I know personally as a kid things have been said that weren't meant to be intentionally mean but even though it wasn't the intention they can still hurt. Pain especially from family can stick with you your whole life. I think personally going through it the hardest part is not getting an apology because people say things and don't realize how it affects somebody and I get if you don't tell them then they'll never know, but it still hurts. The challenge for this week is to think carefully before you say things to your children. Maybe set them down and have a talk with them and see if you've said anything that's hurt them.  If you ever have any questions or need advice please contact us right away and we'll help you. We're here for you!

In A Different Way

Many parents have their way of doing things...I propose we do things In A Different Way here are some ways parents DO their things The "Empowerment" Way 1. Because I can, because I said so The "Comparison" Way 2.  So and So would never do that! Why can't you be like (name here). The "Simple" Way   3. your grounded. I'm taking your phone! Go to your room! Tell your dad (tell your mom) These ways can work (they often do, ask any parent!) but we aren't here to do it the EASY way, we're here to teach our kids. The truth is...some kids don't learn from the Easy Way but most parents aren't willing to try any other way. They use excuses like "it worked for them...it works on my other kid(s). They just don't take the time. Then parents are left wondering "why do my kids never listen?" The problem is that kids aren't being taught. Sure, these methods work a lot but that doesn't guaranteed that every ki

Meaningful Moments

 "Love is enough" The quote that many have requoted for years. While some may say it is true, is it really? Is love really enough? What does that even mean? Well, some would say love is a feeling so if we're going based solely on that fact, then sorry to say but no it is not enough. See that is the problem, we base our relationship on how we are feeling. We base the ranking of our family on how we feel about each other and whether we fight or not. You may not be aware but ALL...let me say it again, ALL relationships have their ups and downs, every family fights once in a while. If you really base it solely on that, you'll be let down every time. "So what do we base it on?" you may ask; You base it on actions, its a conscience decision everyday to say "no matter what, I will stick around and fight for you, for US." That is what you signed up for when you said "I do" and many of us are standing at the altar with our children present while w
