My Joy!

I’m just so thankful to God for these two wonderful gifts I’ve ever received in life aside from my hubby. Indeed, they are my joy! Love u both!

I Love Shoes!

I guess every woman like me really loves shoes. There was one time,  I and hubby went for a window shopping and guess what happened? We happened to pass by a certain shoe shop and saw the sale sign hanging and I asked hubby to went inside. Oh my! I was able to buy a pair of  sandals out of impulse. Tsk, tsk, tsk too bad!

Lesson learned for my hubby: not to let me pass by a women shoes department if it’s on sale or else….never mind! lol…

By the way, I saw this boots online and I am loving this for my daughter. Wish I could buy her one…

How to Discipline Your Child Effectively?

This is the fourth session of our parenting class in our church. As parents, which one of you here are you using in disciplining your child/children?

1.PERMISSIVE- this are fearful parents.

• They give HIGH LOVE to their children but give LOW DISCIPLINE.

2.NEGLECTFUL- this are forsaking parents.

• Also known as passive parents or lukewarm parents. Children feel being abandoned or strange having no intimacy bonding and respect towards parents and vice versa.

• They give LOW LOVE and LOW DISCIPLINE.

3.AUTHORITARIAN- this are fighting parents.

• They produce rebellion children.

• They give LOW LOVE but a HIGH DISCIPLINE.

4.AUTHORITATIVE- this are fellowshipping parents.

• They are in control with discipline. They have time to bond and balances discipline to their children.

• They give HIGH LOVE and at the same time HIGH DISCIPLINE!

The balanced, authoritative parent who combines high levels of support with high levels of control typically produced children with high self-esteem, good coping skills, and a positive relationship with parents.

Pedia Day!

An hour from now, we will be going to see my daughter’s pediatrician.  Actually she  was supposed to be back last March but we don’t have enough time because of our busy schedules coming in and out. oh my! If I did not saw her baby booklet I almost forgot that I need to bring her to her pedia on her scheduled date. Now that I am free I would bring her for her yearly doze of flu vaccine.

How to Raise Positive Kids in a Negative World?

Principles for Positive Parenting

1.       Positive parenting begins with POSITIVE clear cut OBJECTIVES

Ephesians 6:4

·         The principle of FOCUS- proactive parenting prevents reactive, fearful methods.

We parents must be able to determine what we need to aim for our children. Always remember that God’s dream for His children is holiness which produces joy (eternal) while the world’s dream for our children is to have happiness in every way (temporary).

2.       Positive parenting demands we PRACTICE what we PREACH

1 Corinthians 4:14-16

·         The  principle of MODELING- it is more caught than taught!

We parents must produce not what we teach but we must produce what we act. Then we must be what we want them to become.
