Good Rewards

I just heard this today, and I thought it was a Good reminder --

Instead of over-praising our kids ( and ourselves!) for achievements, wins, goals, best grades, making the grade, participating, showing-up (some of these are really just lame - others are too pushy and pressured exp[ectations...)

WE SHOULD REWARD:

• generosity
• kindness
• perseverance
• EFFORT

and I would add:

• integrity
• completion (finishing, even if it's less than great)
• accomplishiment, (not necessarily reaching your ideals or highest possible)

AND for the Good Things, we should continue to

Find - Reward - Keep - and Share -

Whatever is:

true

noble

right

pure

lovely

admirable

excellent

worthy

. . .in short, The Good Stuff!

[ Phil. 4:8-9 ]
