I remember when the kids were little and it felt like all I did was correct them, as you said.<br /><br />I had to pray and ask the Lord to help me find ways to praise them and to LOOK for them and be more encouraging.<br /><br />My oldest did a post on my blog once, and one of the things he mentioned was the encouragement that we gave him when he was younger, so obviously he appreciated it!<br /><br />Even though they are older, they still need our encouragement, I think, so thanks for the reminder!momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519343990735608713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766259787611337956.post-65321910358102143952011-03-25T10:16:26.237-05:002011-03-25T10:16:26.237-05:00So true...we mostly focus on the negative things a...So true...we mostly focus on the negative things about our kids, what a relief to give them praise for the good, right things that they do instead!

This is something I have to constantly work on. I want to praise my children, but sometimes I forget and I shouldn't.

I praise my grandkids, too, as they are an extension of my wonderful kids! At this stage in my life, I find <i>being gentle and patient</i> doesn't come as easy as I wish it did; however, I do believe it is better than when my kids were little. Thank you for this reminder. I pray that it stays in the forefront of MY mind daily!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915464515200570565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766259787611337956.post-22289287004581522752011-03-25T07:36:23.092-05:002011-03-25T07:36:23.092-05:00Yes, I believe children should be praised more oft...Yes, I believe children should be praised more often than not. While reading your blog I was wondering if I scolded my kids more than I ever praised them when they were growing up. I pray that I did praise them but I can't remember so I am wondering now if that meant I didn't give them enough praise. Your post is is setting my mind to thoughts of yester years. Thanks for a wonderful reminder.Deanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818611567172929238noreply@blogger.com
