A recommendation for parents who still have children in the home:

As a married couple (parents)  one of the greatest things you can do to contribute to the future well being of your family and children is this:  SIT DOWN TOGETHER AS PARENTS AND IDENTIFY A SPECIFIC GOAL FOR EACH OF YOUR CHILDREN AND THEN CREATE A PLAN THAT WILL HELP YOU ACHIEVE THAT GOAL WITH EACH OF THE CHILDREN IN ORDER TO PROMOTE THE INDIVIDUAL GROWTH AND PROGRESS OF EACH ONE.

Do that regularly.  Work on the plan to reach the goal for a period of time...attempting to help each child progress. Compliment them on their progress.  After a period of time...change to a new goal with each child and, in the long run, you will see wonderful growth and progress in each person in your family.  Work as a family TEAM.


Have a nice day. Jim
