Notes from the Parenting Seminar
Notes from the Parenting Seminar
A more Christlike way of parenting.
~ Perspective: Our children are children of God. Pray for a desire to know your children as Heavenly Father knows them. The Holy Ghost is our best teacher.
~ Goals: Don't forget to establish an outcome. Where do you see your family in 5 years or 10 years?
~ Sanctified: Examine what you do every day to become sanctified. As we purify ourselves we are open to revelation. Some ways include prayer, service, temple attendance, forgiveness, repentance, fasting for our children and for our marriage.
We want our children to behave well because it is best, not to avoid the negative.
THINGS TO AVOID:
Criticism (finding fault)
Arguing (trying to prove you are right or your child is wrong. You can tell within 7 seconds if your discussion is turing into a pointless argument, or if it will be resolved.
Threats (Includes bribe, bargaining, deals. "If you eat your vegetables, you can have a cookie.")
Sarcasm (Even with a smile or laugh is hurtful.)
Force (shouting, hitting, hurting)
WHEN YOUR CHILDREN MISBEHAVE
Two types of misbehavior:
Consequential - hurts things or people (Stop the action and redirect the child's attention.)
Inconsequential - Something that annoys you. This you should ignore with a purpose and reinforce the good.
*The behavior your pay attention to is what will get repeated!
Your kids want your attention more than anything else. When children behave well, acknowledge appropriate behaviors in a positive way. Give your attention through touch, notes, smiles, praise, etc. Don't give it every time though. (Think of a slot machine. If every time you put in a quarter, a quarter came out, it wouldn't be as meaningful when you win!)
Every hour with your children should include at least 20 positive reactions.
Be Sincere, Casual, Brief, and add variety.
Make a list of your child's values and as you see them throughout the day, you can praise them for that value they are building.
"Satan knows that the surest and most effective way to disrupt the Lord's work is to diminish the effectiveness of the family and the sanctity of the home. - Elder M Russell Ballard.

Lesson 16: "Offer Up Thy Sacraments Upon My Holy Day" August 19, 2012
The Sabbath day is a holy day that we should spend worshipping and participating in the covenant of the Sacrament. We are blessed to live so close to our church building and in a community where we can come to church on Sunday, and be a part of the learning and worshipping that happens on Sunday. We should be reverent during Sacrament, and find ways that work for us individually, to stay in tune with the Spirit, and to remember why we take the Sacrament. For those of us with children, we should make sure we teach them the importance of taking the sacrament, and taking it worthily.
We should also, as families and individuals, find ways that we can be together as a family and worship our Heavenly Father and our Savior every Sunday. The Lord blessed us with the Sabbath day, so that we might rest from the cares of the world, and so that we might worship and learn about his gospel. It might help to prepare the night before or the morning before Sacrament meeting, to really ponder and pray, and think about why we take the Sacrament, and to be better prepared to receive the blessings that come with renewing our covenants each week in church. Remember to keep the Sabbath day holy, and we will be blessed for it.
