I like it. I think I might start doing something like it, in a less formal
way. I have a kid who tends to think he's not good at a lot of things
(other than sports). He gets a lot of positive strokes about his athletic
successes. I think it might help him if I document some of his other
successes that might not be as obvious to him. Thanks.

I just read about, (what I thought) was a great idea although it may not seem so to some of you. I was reading about a Korean Christian that told about her mother keeping a journal on each of her eight children. She'd put a picture of each child in and write down all the POSITIVE observations and accomplishments for the month. At the end of the month the child could read what mother had observed and written for that month. She said it was such an exciting time at the end of the month to get to read it. Mother never put in the negative things or failures of any kind. Just positive.
What do some of you think of this idea??

I like this idea for my 13 year old. I think that we often have far
to much negativity with our teens. It is a time when they need as
much positive as they can get. Thanks for relating it to us.

Last episode "Betty Holder" <ninnyridge03@...>, had this to
say:

>I just read about, (what I thought) was a great idea although it may not seem so to some of you. I was reading about a Korean Christian that told about her mother keeping a journal on each of her eight children. She'd put a picture of each child in and write down all the POSITIVE observations and accomplishments for the month. At the end of the month the child could read what mother had observed and written for that month. She said it was such an exciting time at the end of the month to get to read it. Mother never put in the negative things or failures of any kind. Just positive.
