You're stuck on a desert island . . . .
Pick the last words you would have wanted to say to your child before you got stranded:
"You little good for nothing! You'll never amount to anything!" "Stop chewing like that, you look like a pig!" "Get out of my way, I can't see the television!" "You're a lazy slob!" "It's right there, can't you see it right in front of your face!" "We're late and it's all your fault!" "Just shut up!" "If you do that again I'm going to have to hit you!" "Stop whining and get off the couch!" "You are so thick-headed!" "Get out of this room, now!"
or
"I'm in a grouchy mood, can we talk another time?" "I don't want to lose my temper, so please do as I ask." "You are behaving very nicely, I'm proud of you." "I like being with you." "I love you."
~ When you're about to say something harsh, stop yourself mid-sentence. Imagine yourself about to head off to a desert island, do you want those words to be your last? ~ |
