I was talking to my Daughter about Robin Williams and asked her if she saw this video yet. She said OMG! I diiiid! It makes me cry every time! I jokingly said Oh, good! Now I know how to punish you! (I never really had to punish her because she is perfect)!! But then I thought about it.... Instead of punishing kids with harsh words, grounding or (god forbid) hitting them- What if we did something as crazy as reminding them of their ABSOLUTE VALUE? Instead of pointing out their shortcomings-point out what makes them great. I was reminded of African traditions where the offender is made to sit in a circle of their peers and each person reminds them of their worth to the clan. We should all strive to think beautifully.... If not for ourselves- FOR THE OTHER. I am grateful for my others. Happy Holidays to all.
