My kids are very negative and it drives me batty. So I decided that as part of their handwriting practice, or L's journaling, I'd have them write about things they like.
I told M to pick one person a day, from our family, and write 3 things he liked about them. Today was my turn...
"I like mom because I love her and she loves me a lot and becaues she plays with me a lot."
Too cute!
Yesterday was dad's turn...
"I like dad becaues he is cool. And because I love him. And because he plays with me a lot."
I can't wait to see what he says about his siblings, hehe.

What a great lesson!
I don't homeschool and I STILL might do this! LOL My 5 yr old and *almost* 3 year old have issues with each other...maybe it would do them good to talk nice about each other - for once. LOL
The siblings should have a very interesting turn of thoughts. Maybe not though, it could be just the exact same!
what a great idea! i would make them make me the subject everytime :P
that is a good idea! my mom had a lot of fun with that... she made us write all sorts of things a thousand times when we got in trouble. lol.
That is a really cute idea for kids journaling! Sounds likes there's lots of love :)
