repparttar Talking Stick is passed, one torepparttar 131405 next, all aroundrepparttar 131406 circle as each person gets to have a say inrepparttar 131407 discussion without others interrupting or starting an argument. Ah, I wish I had known about this Talking Stick when my children were growing up.

Here's a simple solution for other families today - Listen, Pause, Clarify and Validate. Read on, I think it will make great good sense to you, too.

Love, Joan

SETTING GOALS/Michael Angier

Written by Joan Bramsch


Continued from page 1

REALISTIC: This is your call. What's realistic to you may not be to someone else. Your objective has to be withinrepparttar realm of YOUR believability. If you can't envision yourself doing it, you won't.

TIMELY: A goal must have a target date. If you desire to make a million dollars, but don't setrepparttar 131403 timeline for it, it won't be motivating. A deadline too far inrepparttar 131404 future is too easily put off. A goal that's set too close is not only unrealistic, it's discouraging.

If you keep these things in mind as you plan your goals, you'll meet with more success and have more fun doing so.
