Love and Logic Moment
In today’s hectic, complicated world, many families find themselves without a “road map” for helping their kids avoid getting lost.
Might it be wise to sit down as a family and create a type of family mission statement…a set of core values that serves as a road map for behavior?
One parent described her approach:
We talked as a family about what types of values we feel proud to live by. Then we posted them on our refrigerator.
Our family believes in…
- Treating others the way we want to be treated
- Honesty
- Politeness
- Doing our best even when something is hard or boring
- Being healthy and safe
Our three year old needed a lot of help with these, but the older kids caught on quickly. We made sure to admit that we, as parents, would be held accountable for living by these values too!
This is a great tool for teaching self-discipline and problem-solving. Now we just say to our kids, “Feel free to do what you would like as long as it fits our family’s values.”
Thanks for reading! Our goal is to help as many families as possible. If this is a benefit, forward it to a friend.
