Fuzzy Names, Sweet Names
As with everything, names go through cycles of change with passing generations. I also tend to think that names have improved immensely since the first Elmas, Minervas, Bufords, and Alfreds graced the baby’s room wearing appropriate nametags on their cribs.

I’m Sorry! Blame-Game or Accountability
A powerful tool for health as we approach the new year can be to focus on giving and/or receiving only real apologies when we want to heal a rift with a family member, friend, or co-worker. We hear apologies all the time, but I don’t think many of them are sincere. An apology has to be real to heal.
Get Out of Jail Free: Stop Being Defensive
When Marcus and Sally first met they immediately felt like kindred spirits. Marcus was generally warm and open. But as their relationship continued, Sally noticed that sometimes when he was upset he had trouble talking. When she asked Marcus what was bothering him, he would reply that nothing was wrong. Only when she coaxed him would he eventually tell her. As time went on, his resistance increased. The more she probed, the more reluctant he was . . . neither of them felt an ounce of kinship; they didn’t even like each other. Taking the War Out of Our Words, pp. 8-9
Responding to Criticism Without Being Defensive
In an actual war, to be attacked means to have our survival threatened. Thus, we might chose between surrender, withdrawal, or counterattack. When we feel attacked criticized or judged by others in conversation, we often move into that same kind of survival mentality and automatically defend ourselves. But conversation is different than war. When we defend against criticism, we give more power to the criticism and the person dishing it out than is warranted.

Friends Are A Gift You Give Yourself
My oldest boy is fifteen and was a real jerk about a month ago.He had gotten pretty full of himself and acted like he was too cool for the rest of the family.Pretty typical teenager behavior, but I didnt like it.I had gotten to the end of my patience with him and laid into him about how lousy it felt to be treated that way.We ended up in a huge fight.He argued that he wasnt acting any different than normal and that I was just choosing to see things negatively.So, I laid out numerous examples of his selfish "me me me" behaviors without stopping to take a second breath.He hates it when I go off like that, but once he was ready to really talk, I came down off of my soapbox.He was close to tears.Apparently, Id hit a nerve.He confessed that his closest friends at school had been trying to tell him the same thing recently and he wasnt hearing them.Now he suddenly knew what it was they had been trying to say.He felt awful and began to make immediate changes in his behaviors towards others.He really hated the idea that he was hurting anyones feelings by being cold and uncaring.

Tools to Find Family-Friendly Content

So you’re pregnant. Congratulations!

Pregnancy is the beginning of a new life for a baby, but also a new life for you as a parent. If this is your first baby, you may be filled with an endless list of questions and concerns. If you’re a veteran of the labor and delivery room, you’ve got a better idea what to expect, yet every pregnancy, like every mother and child, is different.

Authoritarian Parenting, Permissive Parenting, or Loving Parenting
