Chocolate Reminders

Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE chocolate.  Specifically I love Dove chocolate.  The added bonus?  It has hidden reminders.  What piece of encouragement will be hiding under the wrapper today?  Here are some "words of wisdom" from Dove:

* "Chocolate brings good things to life."

* "It's OK not to do it all."
* "Think lovingly, speak lovingly, act lovingly."
* "It's never too late for a fresh start."
* "Celebrate what you want to see more of."
* "The most enjoyable experiences are often free."

Think about applying these thoughts to how you parent. 

• Your child comes home after having a bad day?  "Think, speak and act lovingly" towards them.
• Are they down because they seem to keep disobeying the same thing over and over and you are feeling fed up?  Teach them (and yourself) "It's never too late for a fresh start."
• See an action from your child that made you happy and wish they would do it more often?  "Celebrate what you want to see more of."

What "words of wisdom" have you learned from opening a piece of chocolate?  What are some "words of wisdom" would you submit to Dove?
