Communication tip:
If a positive and negative message conflict,
the negative message is always stronger. That's
why if you compliment your spouse but follow
it with a complaint, he'll focus on the complaint.
One
of the worst days of my parenting career was
a Mother's day. The kids argued, were unruly,
and barely acknowledged the day until prompted
by their father. I survived and so did the kids.
Be slow to take credit for the accomplishments
of your children lest you also take the blame
for their bad behavior.

But life can be complicated
and murky at times, can’t it? There can be bumps along
the way – some major, some minor.
Perhaps
you’re tired – Of never having enough time? Of arguing with family members? Of not knowing where you’re going?

those bumps and deepen the most important relationships
in your life.
