  • 3 for 1

    I recently read about a mother who enacted the "3 for 1" rule.  Each time one of her children said something negative about a sibling, they had to say "three nice for one bad".  I LOVE THIS! 

    I love it so much that we adopted the rule.  I have found it to be a great way to restore harmony in the family.  When you have to think of three nice things about someone, it is easier to forget or overlook the one bad.  Acting in anger never sovles a problem.  Acting with love is always the solution.

  • what a fabulous idea.

    my dear friend tried to get me to say a four positive things about myself for every one awful thing i often said. it was so difficult fo rme because i didn't believe it. but i understood what he was trying to do. i like changing the focus to uplifting rather then tearing down. what a great idea. little mister has such wide beautiful eyes!!

  • growing up we did something similar and would have to say something nice if we said something mean.  It was good for changing the subject as well and focusing on nice things 

  • Good idea and beautiful pix of the kiddos.
