Making Positive Statements

 

Dr. Laura-

The other day a step-mother called concerned her older son was constantly barraging the younger with negative, critical remarks. A friend of mine used to make her girls overcome every negative statement by immediately making 3 positive ones. This makes a person mindful and aware of what they are doing and hopefully break a bad habit sooner rather than later.

An apology might well be added, if the critical remark is directed at a person.

All negativity should be confronted with each family member for a more pleasant atmosphere.

Blessings,

Cindy
