9 Things That Matter With Our Kids

Winning At Home While We Work From Home

This will be a short, but very thoughtful post:

• Simple, yet far from simplistic.
• Meaningful, yet not way out of touch with reality.

Several Suggestions

• Take a quick read through the list.
• Pay attention to any immediate responses of any nature.
• Read through the list one more time.
• Pause longer any time your heart says “Pause.”  In other words, it’s your home we are talking about here and should your heart say, “Listen,” my personal suggestion would be to do just that.
• Think about any actions you may desire to initiate.
• Reflect on any attitudes or actions you may desire to modify or stop.

9 Things That Truly Matter As We Relate To Our Children

In my opinion, the following things matter: as in “really matter” while in the process of relating to our children.

I don’t want to win at designing and putting into practice a marketing funnel, attract hundreds of people to my downline as an attraction marketing guru, seeing hundreds of prospects respond to my business blogging efforts, and…

Lose at home.

• Not now.
• Not later.
• Not ever.

With those thoughts providing the backdrop for my post, I feel that these 9 things matter:

1. Enjoying childlike delights with our children before our children no longer delight in being just that: children!
2. Paying attention long enough to truly understand — yet caring enough to make any necessary corrections once all is truly understood.  (Or, reversed, caring enough not to make the expected correction!)
3. Responding to immaturity in a mature way instead of allowing immaturity to reign on both ends of the age scale: our child’s and ours.  (Example: while shopping at the grocery store this past week I witnessed an older man yelling — and I mean yelling — at a younger child and the lady who was with him.  Absolutely insane, immature behavior.)
4. Being silly when I can.
5. And being fun when its not cool to be silly!
6. Making (and taking) time to listen when it’s the child’s time and not just “my time” as a parent.
7. Being big enough to sincerely say, “I was wrong.”
8. Sensitive enough to ask, “Will you forgive me?”
9. And courageous enough to correct my ways in the process.

Time To Respond…

• Did any thoughts or ideas stand out?
• Did you take any time to pat yourself on the back?  i.e., when “slid by” one of the comments because you knew you were doing pretty good in that area… did you either reflect in gratefulness for that realization and even celebrate a bit?  You can, you know!
• Where did you catch any of those all important “heart pauses”? And, what do you feel we were the significance of those pauses? As I write this question, should you happen to be a faith based individual, the following brief prayer came to mind:

Father, may my heart sense

where Your heart is leading me at this time, during this day,

and may I follow that lead for all the right reasons: Your reasons.

• Caution: would you happen to be being a bit too harsh on yourself in reading through that list?  True, truth is truth, but so is balancing things in truth.  Of course we can be too soft with ourselves at times: all of us realize that fact.  In fact, the following could apply as well…
• Caution: would you happen to be responding a bit “less” than you should in any place?  In other words are the traffic signals working but the driver isn’t paying that much attention?  These last two “Cautions” are obviously meant to provide that word that often is difficult to obtain: “balance.”  (Have I figured that out? You know the answer!)

On Raising Children

May I win where it counts,

Lose where I should,

And possess the wisdom to know the difference.
