Reconstruction Phase IV--Replay

[holdingon]

I picked the one negative of the evening to post here when I should be focussing on all the positives.

This is SO easy to do, Cathy. And I notice, especially with my sons, that if I am affirming, they respond so much better, if I am critical, they get defensive and ugly... Refer back to goal #1 of mine... be affirming whenever possible. Words of affirmation, words of affirmation. Not only does it make the target feel better, it changes my whole PMA, too.
