Too often as parents we tend to become overly critical, forgetting that our children actually listen to what we say! Catch your children doing good things unbidden and let them know that their behaviors are pleasing to God! Get a very pretty vase, pitcher or jar. Everytime you catch you children doing good things unbidden ... like helping their sibling, cleaning their room, picking up various parts of the house, performing schoolwork, etc. ... write that behavior on a piece of paper along with a Scripture verse that supports that behavior. Do NOT tell your children what you are up to ... let the curiosity mount. At the end of the day, list off who did what good behavior unbidden and let them know that this behavior did not go by unnoticed. By catching our children doing well, instead of constantly focussing on discipline problems, we are teaching our children to reach for the prize and think outside of themselves.
Catch your young scholars doing well !
