Praise goes so much farther, and God knows, none of us are perfect.<br />Enjoying your blog.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912466557223829314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-86251607048624616012010-10-31T20:05:27.502-07:002010-10-31T20:05:27.502-07:00My husband was thrilled that we made it into your ...My husband was thrilled that we made it into your blog. The quote indeed does come from the book "The Power of Positive Parenting" as listed in the comment above. I also love his book "Christlike Parenting" which goes through the same principles, etc. but from a gospel perspective. I love your blog!<br />Mary BeesleyMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590350210280324686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-27904811195416299162010-10-31T19:50:53.871-07:002010-10-31T19:50:53.871-07:00Delurking here:

Latham, "The Power of Positive Parenting." In his book he phrases it this way: "Unless what you are about to say or do has a high probability for making things better, don't say it and don't do it." Just thought you might enjoy knowing the source of the quote.<br /><br />My sister-in-law (whom I love and completely respect as a parent) introduced me to this book and it was such a great help in showing me a better way to discipline and teach my two boys (ages 6 and 7).<br /><br />You have such a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing your sweet spirit with the rest of us.beccatemeculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479236344438654794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-72739127104235268312010-10-30T20:36:48.968-07:002010-10-30T20:36:48.968-07:00I very much agree, however I know that my biggest ...I very much agree, however I know that my biggest personal revelations have been because someone was honest with me. At the time it hurt my feelings, but I was able to examine my personality and see if their (rude) criticism was something I wanted to change about myself. For some reason the really rude people are who have made the most difference in myself.RoLohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272878407552883331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-12196089081492767942010-10-29T09:28:28.610-07:002010-10-29T09:28:28.610-07:00thanks for this. i needed it this morning. my sis ...thanks for this. i needed it this morning. my sis and i have a love-hate relationship and it's good to be reminded of how i should REALLY act/think. if only it was easy....<br /><br />-from a red-blueKaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351702217731626137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-13054150391457040792010-10-29T07:43:19.827-07:002010-10-29T07:43:19.827-07:00I love this post Liz, so much so that I am going t...I love this post Liz, so much so that I am going to tag it to my blog:) The quote from your Bishop is just perfect!<br />By the way: Blue is the only way to be:):)Kirs:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09391069212774417705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-88824140917690910672010-10-29T07:00:15.582-07:002010-10-29T07:00:15.582-07:00I love the talk and your wise words to go along wi...I love the talk and your wise words to go along with- so many applications to me as a wife and mother and in my calling at church.
