Super Parenting Tip

Here's a wonderful idea! Get a plate that is different than what you normally serve dinner on. Once a week at dinner give this plate to someone in the family. The person with the special plate has the honor of having everyone around the table say something nice to them. It can be anything from: "You are terrific with dogs," to "I loved the way you took the trash out today without having me tell you to," to "You did a great job on your homework this week," to "You have a wonderful sense of humor. You make me laugh," etc. This promotes positive thinking, harmony, and good will. Use a plastic plate for young children. During the summer I've gotten cute plastic plates at dollar stores.
