self-confidence is built through knowing we are loved
self-confidence enables us:
• to be different when we need to be
• to build close relationships
• our children have “emotional tanks" which need to be kept full
• their behavior acts as the gauge showing the level in the tank
Question: What are the signs of an empty “emotional tank” in your child(ren)?
We give an opportunity to practice effective listening.
Take turns spending one minute telling your husband or wife about a happy memory of something that happened to you before you met. The listener should then summarize what they have heard, taking particular care to describe their partners feelings. This will show that they have been listening and empathizing with what their partner felt.
