Want to build those great relationships? There are days in which you will think the only way to fix things is a good swat, a dose of soap in the mouth, a week or two of restriction, etc, etc. I am here to tell you it may work for a minute, but it will never build a good relationship.
The seven deadly habits that will kill a relationship are:
criticizing, blaming, complaining, nagging, threatening, punishing, and rewarding to control (bribe).
The seven connecting habits that will heal and build a relationship are:
supporting, encouraging, listening, accepting, trusting, respecting and negotiating all differences.
All the seven deadly habits are easy to do. We have been schooled in them all our lives, and it is hard to convince ourselves that they are a problem in our lives and relationships.
The connecting habits are hard to learn, and difficult to do when we are battling the influence of the seven deadly habits. What we teach the children to do is to make a plan, something to DO, not stop doing. Start replacing one of the seven deadly with one of seven connecting habits.
When will you start?
