Meaty stuff- and just like dense protein, highly nourishing:-) Giving appreciations at family meeting helps me focus on what I want to see in my 7 yr old and encourage it, like having the courage to so "no" to doing something she's uncomfortable with, in this case, answering the phone, not knowing who is on the other end. This trepidation confounded me until I saw the positive in it, voiced it, and now she's developed the courage to answer the phone! So rewarding!

And it ALWAYS feels so good to hear him say such nice things!
