Spotlight

When we have a child (or children…) that “push our buttons” often, we tend to focus only on their “bad behavior”.
In the next couple of days, imagine you have a spotlight and with this spotlight I want you to shine on your child’s strengths, his good choices, his kind acts.
And by “shine” I mean – encourage him, give him a good word, acknowledge his effort.
Remind yourself what an amazing job you’ve been doing as a parent.
Sometimes we need to “zoom out” in order to see all the good in our children.
Allow yourself to zoom out.
Use that spotlight.
