One thing I will not accept from my
family is “sloppy work.” If your going to do something, your
going to do it right, the first time. Time is way too precious to
waste having to clean up messy work. As a matter of fact, while your
mumbling, grumbling and playing because you don't wanna do the work,
somebody else is passing you up. Yes, we all have our own race to
run, but when 5..10 years go by, guess who's going to be reaping the
reward of hard work?
I refuse to have an unsuccessful
family. I spent all morning coaching my son through his chores. I
actually had to stop what I was doing, to coach him through. I'll be
honest, at first I was annoyed because I got stuff to do and he's 7
years old. He knows better than this foolishness... But when I
thought about it, I had to laugh. He's a 7 year old boy who wants to
jump and play ball. (Know your child.) My job as the parent is to be
as patient as possible. (Parents are the leaders.) Yelling only
escalates tears and frustration as well as discourages the result.
(Kids do what we do.) My job as the leader is to show him the reward
that hard work produces. (Be the example.)
Parents, coaches,
leaders... Although it's important to be firm, it's effective to be
calm.
Ps: Happy Mother's Day Moms! Our job is
a continuous work.
