Catch 'em Doing Something Right

[bdentzy]

Parenting is hard and I sometimes feel like I spend more time correcting my kids than enjoying what's right. So I try to be intentional about catching them doing stuff right.

So, here's the challenge (or the question): When was the last time you caught your kid(s) doing something right? What was it?

I'd love to hear what your kids have been doing right. If you don't have anything, just keep at it until you do and then share it with the rest of us so we can encourage each other.

Totally relate. I know all I feel I do sometimes is try to keep the peace between them, which is exhausting and frustrating. My boys are very competitive and there is the typical sibling rivalry. I loved seeing them at school Monday as they went off to their different classes, hugging each other and giving each other a kiss. It melted my heart.

That's excellent. Sometimes I need those sweet moments to sustain me as we work through the "other" moments.

Yep, those moments make the hard one more bearable. Parenting is hard. But it is so worth it.

Just yesterday my two kids ages 7 and 5 were playing Candyland together and not fighting.

Playing nicely together is always good to see.
