I am currently working with a company to implement a performance management system for their young employees and this work has led me to a book I read a very long time ago on the Fish Philosophy. I love the premises of this book and to be honest, it is how I live my life. Anyway, to get to the point, these philosophies can be applied to your family with great ease, so I thought I would share them.
1. Make their Day – each day, engage your children in ways that lift their spirits. Do something for them that makes their day.
2. Be There – be with your children in the present moment and give your full attention.
3. Chose your Attitude – whatever attitude you are carrying is the one you have chosen to carry and you can just as easily choose another. Your attitude will be affecting your behaviour and how you are treating your child.
4. Play – Have fun and be light-hearted
It is as simple as that; what a framework for a happy family, simple yet very, very effective
