Positive Parenting Tips: Thought # 52
If you've made some mistakes, don't focus on the problem.
Instead, focus on what would make the situation better.
Also, use it the next time something similar comes around.
Remember that just because you made a mistake, it doesn't make you a bad person.
You still have plenty of time to fix that mistake, even if it doesn't seem like it.
One mistake does not set up your whole life for failure.
Your life is an open book.
You have the power to change it at any time.
Don't let one mistake cause you to believe your whole life has crumbled.
Doing so can be bad for you, as well as your children.

Post a CommentThanks Sophie and Lizzie. I agree Sophie. :-)
Everyone makes mistakes, parenting is trial and error, sometimes what you do for one child does not work for another child. Just remember your mistakes so you won't repeat them
Very good point to remember! Thank you!
