When I say something positive, is it just a prelude for some type of correction?
If this is true, she will dread hearing praise from me
How is my correction?
- Firm and loving?
- What is my tone of voice? kind? enraged?
- Do I refrain from sarcasm? Sarcasm is correction plus contempt
- Do I correct in front of others (other than my wife)? Majority of the time corrections should be done in private
Communication love means letting my daughters know they are accepted just the way they are
- How much do I say I love her?
- Do I buy a smaller arrangement for my daughter on Valentines day?
- Am I quick to go to your daughter's aid
Key Phrase: Sarcasm is correction plus contempt
