As promised, I said I would advise you if my 'light bulb' moment of getting dirty dishes out of the sink and into the dishwasher without having to say a word or expend my valuable energy would work. I am happy to report that my posted poem has been a success! I must admit, it took a few times of placing and replacing in different areas in order for it to be fully appreciated but, I have only had to clean up a few pieces of silverware! A busy parent cannot ask for more than that as this has given me back hours out of my day to be spent on much more demanding things.
So what's next on the list to tackle without arguments, reminders and expending needless energy that can/should be used for better purposes.....the laundry!! This shouldn't be too difficult because; if there is no clean clothes, someone will be asking soon for a lesson in washing properly!
Feel free to use my poem and put it in an area where EVERYONE in your household will see it and let me know how it works for you! Remember, it's not WHAT you say but more in HOW you say it. It is very easy for our children to disengage when we start speaking. So, stop talking and let your actions do it for you! Many blessings to you all!
