“The only way to speak the truth is to speak lovingly"~~ Henry David Thoreau
I have a 14 year old daughter who loudly, strongly, and frequently speaks her mind. She criticises everything I do. I have to remind myself that I am an adult and I can take it.
I also have to remind myself that she is not an adult. How often are our interactions with teens of a critical nature? It is so easy to point out all the mistake and things that need to be done or things that are done incorrectly. All our emotions are contagious. Speak with love in the hopes that one day that love will be reciprocated.
It is amazing how contagious emotions (positive and negative) can be. I think you are very positive - keep it up!
