Be Careful What You Reward

Posted on July 9, 2008 by d3admin

Don’t reward the wrong behavior–and don’t reward the wrong attitudes, either. To “reward” means to respond to something wrong or unhealthy by saying or doing something positive for the person who’s wrong. Don’t do it. Try to pay attention to … Continue reading →

A Taste for Living

Posted on July 8, 2008 by d3admin

“He’s the Man!” … Oh, Really?

Posted on June 30, 2008 by d3admin
