Emotional and Behavioral Goals

I got this list from the Duggar's Book: 20 and Counting. I found it so good that I had to record it.

1. Always use soft words, even when you don't feel good.
2. Always display kind actions, even when you have been mistreated
3. Show joyful attitudes even when no one is looking
4. Have sincere motives with no thought of self - gain
5. Think pure thoughts
6. Always give a good report of others. Never tattle-tell unless physical harm will come to someone. Use Matthew 18.
7. Never raise a hand to hit
8. Never raise a foot to kick
9. Never raise an object to throw
10. Never raise a voice to yell
11. Never raise an eye to scowl
12. Use one toy / activity at a time
13. Never let the sun go down on your wrath.
14. Amendment J.O.Y: Put Jesus first, Others second, Yourself last. Make serving your family a priority.

ash - is this an instruction list for parenting, or a list of goals to teach your children?

I think both are good! Especially giving a good report of others, even if the report must be very brief because there is very little good to say!

What a great list... I believe it is something we all should live by no matter what age.

I think it's just a good list for both parents and children to live by. Think how nice your home would be if everyone lived by those rules! Obviously it's hard until the children get old enough to understand them...and it's HARD to teach your children those things through example - trust me! :)
