Try Changing Strategies
If we can’t seem to communicate with a loved one – be it a friend, spouse, a family member or our own child, try changing strategies.
(If you a parent, don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you have a ‘lousy’ child or that you are a ‘lousy’ parent.)
If talking harshly, nagging, ordering or being too passive doesn’t work, change to a different strategy.
Keep changing strategies till you find one which produces some positive results!
Einstein defines insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” 🙂
