You can always improve your attitude towards things and people by accepting the fact that nothing in this world is fully right or fully wrong. Each person, thing or event has both a postive and negative aspect. What we need to do is focus on the positive aspect and accept the negative aspect the way it is. Definately we need to work on imroving the negative aspect but only as much as it is in our capacity. Rest we can leave as destiny.

I would like to know more about your remark; "children should not focus solely on their feelings." My story could help you ruminate on this knowledge I think, because I was raised to be totally involved in my community, yet I had an unhappy high school experience and my therapist once told me something a long the lines of, "you are really in touch with your feelings and that's not normal." It was true, I did tend to focus totally on my feelings even though I was very involved in the community. I was busy with school, volleyball and track until the evening, and online until two in the morning integrating and talking to others. Still, I tended to have this annoying relationship with myself and my feelings even in the midst of many people. This caused a lot of unhappiness.

Great questions and great suggestions Mrs. Goldman! Every family confronts these challenges and will benefit from this discussion! Three additional thoughts: First, since it is easy for us parents to fall in the "over-functioning" mode when we enthusiastically undertake a new course of action,I would encourage parents to be sure their children (not they) actually write on the calendar. Second,I would also remind parents to take a genuine interest in discussing the content of their children's assignments - not simply approaching deadlines. Third, if for any reason the new system isn't working, ask the child what they think might help it function more effectively. Ownership breeds success. Hugs!
