Plan and Prepare

Challenge question for the day: Do not tackle this yet - NOT YET, but– “In light of what I’m learning–what action do I need to take to start becoming a better parent?” (This is for meditation at this point in time.)

In today's video:
* If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
* How will you deal with your child when they -
- Misbehave
- Hit puberty
- Act terribly
* If you aren’t patient with yourself, you will have a hard time being
patient with a child.
* Find a person whose traits or skills you admire and wish to learn
from, and ask them to help you gain those things for yourself.
* Dream a dream for your family!!
* Repentance - turn around!!
* Recognize an unhealthy behavior
* Resolve to do better
* Reverse your course
* Repair the relationship by acknowledging your mistake to those
whom you have hurt.
* Extend forgiveness within the family unit
* Admit “I was wrong. I hurt you. I am sorry.”
* Ask, “Please forgive me.”
* We already know we all make mistakes
* We should hand out as much forgiveness as we’d like to have ourselves.
