Dear Reader,
Your family should have a serious talk about each other’s feels. Talk while you’re doing something, talk openly and listen calmly. Even if you don’t like what the other person is saying, don’t be instantly judgmental. Realize that even if it looks like they are not listening, they probably are. Also, acknowledge their point of view even if you don’t agree with it. Make sure you’re listening and not just talking, the more you listen the more you learn about them. Your family should do this every month and you’ll start a better way to communicate to each other. And your father should stop sweating the small stuff and relax. As for your sister it is normal for her to act up a little, it helps her feel independent. Annoying as it may be, it reflects their growing mental capabilities. But it should not be dismissed when she does something totally inappropriate, she needs to apologize. Don’t force her to apologize because she does not mean it. As for the spanking I believe that you and your sister are old enough to know what you do is on you. And spanking is a negative approach to the situation. Your father needs to communicate, even through this might be hard for him to get used to they’ll go a long way toward helping develop socially and emotional connections. When kids misbehave, parents often push. He should back off and give you and your sister some space. And some rules should be made be they have to be fair and your father has to stick to them. This is a long process be it is worth it. Wish best of luck.
Sincerely,
nice paragraph but watch your punctuation. And my Advice was great! :)
ReplyDeleteNo it was not it was very cold what you said. And thank you leaving a nice comment. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood advice! There were a few proofreading issues (i.e. "through" instead of "though"), but it seemed like you were speaking from the heart, which was nice to read. I will have a grade for you tomorrow!
